11.
Jordan places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help him scoop  out the ice cream? 
a)
The coolness from the ice cream is conducted to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
b)
The coolness from the ice cream is radiated to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
c)
The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream  making it easier to scoop out.
d)
The warmth of the spoon is radiated  to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.
