A 2021 study compared the average mass (in g) of four meteorite samples: Sample J, 12.4; Sample K, 18.9; Sample L, 142.6; Sample M, 21.3. Researchers concluded that Sample L is far larger than the others. To support this, they could cite ______
Which choice most logically completes the text using the data above?
- Acheck_circle
Sample L's mass of 142.6 g—more than 6x the next largest sample.
- B
Sample J's mass of 12.4 g.
- C
the average mass of all four samples.
- D
Sample K's mass of 18.9 g.
Explanation
"Far larger than the others" is supported by directly comparing L's mass to the others; Choice B does this with a 6x ratio.
