Question 3 of 3

Maya tested four everyday objects to see how they act in water and whether they get damp. She recorded: - Pine cone: floated in water, stayed dry when she touched it. - Glass marble: sank in water, stayed dry when she touched it. - Aluminum foil: sank in water, became damp after she touched it for a few seconds. - Sponge: sank in water, became damp after she touched it for a few seconds. Which of the following groups the objects correctly according to BOTH how they behaved in water (sink or float) AND whether they got damp?
