Answer : 4. "barometer reading rises suddenly"
Explanation :

A falling barometric pressure, detected by a barometer, signals an approaching thunderstorm. This drop indicates unstable atmospheric conditions, often preceding stormy weather. Meteorologists use barometric readings to predict thunderstorms, as the decrease in pressure signifies the likelihood of imminent weather disturbances and allows for timely weather warnings.

Answer : 2. "will decrease"
Explanation :

When a copper disc with a circular hole in the center is heated, the diameter of the hole will generally increase. This phenomenon occurs due to the expansion of the copper material as it is heated. When a material is heated, its particles gain energy and move more vigorously, leading to an increase in volume, and consequently, an increase in the diameter of the hole and the entire disc. The exact amount of expansion would depend on factors such as the temperature increase and the material properties of copper.

Answer : 4. "Vitamin E"
Explanation :

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are called the fat-soluble vitamins, because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats. Vitamin E deficiency, which is rare and usually due to an underlying problem with digesting dietary fat rather than from a diet low in vitamin E, can cause nerve problems.
