Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes drawing a conclusion.

russell was playing with a rubber band and wondered how the stretchiness of flexible materials might vary. russell thought that rubber bands would stretch more than other common flexible materials, like plastic wrap or silicone, because they feel more elastic and springy. russell collected a few items: a rubber band, a piece of plastic wrap, and a silicone baking mat. he cut the rubber band to make a strip and then cut similarly sized pieces from the other items. he then gently pulled on the two ends of the rubber band until it reached its limit, and his sister measured its length. russell and his sister repeated this with the other two materials. they noticed that the rubber band stretched a lot, the plastic wrap stretched less, and the silicone mat stretched very little. russell determined that rubber is more elastic than plastic wrap and silicone, which allows it to stretch the most.

Explanation:

The conclusion - drawing part is where Russell makes a determination based on the results of his experiment. He states that rubber is more elastic than plastic wrap and silicone because it stretches the most among the materials tested.

Answer:

Russell determined that rubber is more elastic than plastic wrap and silicone, which allows it to stretch the most.
