A 2022 lab study measured the density (g/cm³) of four metal samples: Sample W, 7.9 g/cm³; X, 8.9; Y, 11.3; Z, 19.3. The researchers concluded Sample Z is by far the densest. The strongest support is ______
Which choice most logically completes the text using the data above?
- Acheck_circle
Sample Z's density of 19.3—more than 1.7x the next densest sample.
- B
Sample W's density of 7.9.
- C
the average density.
- D
Sample Y's density of 11.3.
Explanation
"By far the densest" is supported by Z's value being 1.7x the next sample. Choice B captures this contrast.
