An observer on the Earth measured and recorded the slight changes in the apparent
diameter of the Moon for 2 months. A graph of the data is shown below.

Which statement best explains the observation:

Hot water at 90°C is poured into cup A. Cool water at 20°C is poured into cup B. Styrofoam covers are placed on the cups. An aluminum bar and a thermometer are placed through holes in each cover. Points X and Y are locations on the aluminum bar. The data table shows temperature readings taken every minute for 20 minutes.

18. Base your answer to the following question on the diagrams below, and your knowledge of Earth science. The diagrams represent five substances, A through E, at the same temperature. Some mass, volume, and density values are indicated for each substance. Substance C is a liquid in a graduated cylinder.

[Note that 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter. Objects are not drawn to scale.]

Water (W) was added to the graduated cylinder containing liquid C. Objects A and D were then dropped into the cylinder. Which diagram most accurately shows the resulting arrangement of these substances?
