Which statement best describe how this arrangement would affect the tide?

• The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in the same direction.

• The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull if opposite directions.

• The tide is smaller than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in the same direction

• The tide is smaller than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in opposite directions.
