Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes drawing a conclusion. julie was excited to try out oil painting as a new hobby. as she gathered her supplies, she wondered what she should use to clean her brushes. some artists simply used water, while others recommended mineral spirits. which cleaner was best for her paint? julie remembered the principle \like dissolves like\ from science class. she reasoned that water, a polar substance, would dissolve other polar substances. since oils are nonpolar, they require a nonpolar solvent—like mineral spirits. she decided to test her idea by taking three cups of mineral spirits and putting an identical brush with black oil paint in each one. she then filled three more cups with water and duplicated the procedure with them. three days later, she checked the cups. the mineral spirits had turned dark and cloudy, while the water was much clearer, with most of the paint still on the brushes. she concluded that mineral spirits are the best cleaner for oil paints since they are both nonpolar. she shared her results on an art blog.
