Solve It! Ski resorts use steepness to rate the difficulty of their hills. The steeper the hill, the higher the difficulty rating. Shown are stretches of three new hills at a particular resort.

Which hill gets which rating?

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Hill C		Easiest
Hill A		Intermediate
Hill B		Difficult
