Explanation:

Question 1

The three forms of water are solid (ice), liquid (liquid water), and gas (steam). Option A includes pressure (not a form of water), B includes electricity (not a form of water), D includes pressure (not a form of water). Only C has the three correct forms.

Option B is about weeds (unrelated to water), C is about cooking vegetables (too specific, not the main topic), D is about brushing teeth (unrelated). The passage likely discusses water's forms and uses, so A is correct.

To support "Water is used for many different things", we need examples of water's uses. Option A is about seals, B is about water's states, C is a single use (drinking tea). Option D lists multiple uses (cooling engines, generating power, traveling), so it supports the statement.

Answer:

C. ice, liquid water, and steam
