Some engineers want to see how different building designs might withstand a strong earthquake. What is the best way to determine this?

• Test one building during different earthquakes.

• Study past earthquake strengths on a graph.

• Test multiple model buildings for one model earthquake.

• Construct a real building to observe during an earthquake.
