Answer guide · AC9M1M01
- The stone is heavier.
- Cup B. It holds more of the same-sized scoops.
- Accept an ordering supported by aligned starts and the positions of the other ends.
- Song B lasts longer because it finishes later after the same start.
If help is needed: An object can be taller yet hold less, or larger yet lighter. Decide whether you are comparing length, mass, capacity or duration.
