Explanation:

• The text states energy from Eli's hand transfers to the spring, so this is true.
• The text specifies coils move back and forth, not up and down, so this is false.
• The spring is the matter the wave travels through, which fits the definition of a medium, so this is true.
• A wave carries energy through its medium, which matches the given definition and scenario, so this is true.

Answer:

• Eli transfers energy to the spring toy.
• The spring toy is the medium the wave travels through.
• The wave carries energy through the spring toy.
