Stacey tried to remove a metal lid from a glass jar, but the lid was too tight. Her mother held the jar so that the lid was in hot water for a minute. Then Stacey was able to turn the lid easily. How did the hot water make the lid easier to remove?

• Heating the glass jar made it expand, so the lid turned easily.

• As the metal lid was heated, it expanded so that it was not as tight.

• Water on the metal lid made it easier to hold, so it was easier to turn.

• The water corroded the metal, so it did not hold as tightly to the glass.
