Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes revising the hypothesis.
the front of a house on a snowy day
on a cold winter morning, julie opened her door to come in from a snowy day. she was struck by how much colder the metal doorknob felt than the wooden door. if they were both out in the same temperature, why did one feel colder? she thought that the wood might absorb heat from the sun better than the metal, which raised the temperature of the door. to test her idea, she got two wooden cubes and two metal cubes of the same size. she put one of each type of cube in the shade, and another of each type in the sun. three hours later, she used an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of each sample. to her surprise, the metal and the wood that were left in the sun were the same temperature! she decided her idea was wrong—she had predicted that the wooden cube left in the sun would be warmer than the metal cube in the sun. instead, the materials must somehow feel different even though they have the same temperature. she asked her chemistry teacher about it, and he explained that metals have a lower specific heat. that makes them feel colder than wood at low temperatures and hotter than wood at high temperatures.

Explanation:

Revising the hypothesis occurs when the initial idea (wood absorbs heat better) is found incorrect (same temperature in sun) and a new understanding (specific heat difference) is considered.

Answer:

"Instead, the materials must somehow feel different even though they have the same temperature. She asked her chemistry teacher about it, and he explained that metals have a lower specific heat. That makes them feel colder than wood at low temperatures and hotter than wood at high temperatures."
