For homework, Mrs. Smith asked her students to make a drawing of common examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Alex drew this picture of a glass filled with soda. Alex things he should earn full credit for the assignment because--

• it is impossible to draw a picture of gas.

• solids, liquids, and gases never exist in the same place at one time.

• the ice is solid, the soda is liquid, and the carbonation is gas.

• solids, liquids, and gases are uncommon in nature.
