Question
matter can be solid, liquid or gas. to know what state of matter something is, just look at some of its properties (what its like and how it acts). the properties we look at are shape, mass, and volume. volume is the amount of space it takes up, or its size. mass is the amount of matter an object has. when we weigh something, we are measuring its mass. and shape is how an object looks, or its form. when you take a deep breath, youre breathing in air, which is a kind of matter. we know air is matter because when you blow up a balloon, the air takes up space. the balloon stretches and gets bigger. we also know that air is matter because it has mass. when the wind blows, you can feel air hitting your skin. thats because it has mass. which of the following is the best evidence to support the belief that air is matter? choose one option a you cant see air. b you can feel air blown from a fan. c air weighs nothing and has no mass. d air is what we breathe.
The text states that matter has properties like mass. Feeling air (which implies it has mass as per the text's logic - when wind blows, feeling it is due to mass) supports that air is matter. Option A (can't see) is irrelevant. Option C (no mass) is contrary. Option D (what we breathe) doesn't address matter - related properties (mass, volume etc. as per text).
