Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes revising the hypothesis. hint: to revise the hypothesis, you use the results of the investigation to come up with a new explanation. apples floating in water clara was playing an apple bobbing game at a party. during the game, she began to wonder if a fruits size is related to whether it floats or sinks. she speculated that smaller fruits would float but larger fruits would sink. so, clara gathered five limes, five mangoes, and five pumpkins, placed the fruits in the large tub of water, and recorded whether they floated or sank after five minutes. she found that the mangoes sank, while the limes and pumpkins floated. since both the smallest and the largest fruits floated, she deduced that size alone does not determine if fruit floats. but, since the pumpkins weighed more than the mangoes, clara also didnt think that heavier fruits would always sink. clara told her friend about her observations. her friend suggested that density might determine if fruits floated, so more dense fruits would sink, and less dense fruits would float.

Explanation:

Clara's initial hypothesis was about fruit - size and floating. After the experiment, her friend's suggestion that density might determine floating (using the experiment results) is the part of revising the hypothesis.

Answer:

Her friend suggested that density might determine if fruits floated, so more dense fruits would sink, and less dense fruits would float.
