Question

which step comes between the steps shown in the chart? step: bend the light bulb’s wires. step: ? step: press the shorter wire against the nickel on top. options: put aluminum foil around the whole light bulb. press the longer wire to the bottom penny. add one more cell to the top of the battery. shake a cardboard square over the bowl.

Explanation:

The process involves working with a circuit (light bulb, wires, penny, nickel). After bending the bulb's wires, the next logical step in circuit assembly (connecting components) is pressing the longer wire to the bottom penny, before pressing the shorter wire to the nickel. The other options (aluminum foil around bulb, adding a battery cell, shaking cardboard) are unrelated to the immediate wire - component connection step between bending bulb wires and connecting the shorter wire to nickel.

Answer:

Press the longer wire to the bottom penny.
