Answer:

B.Example 1 represents a liquid and example 2 represents a gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid : It is that states of matter in which atom or molecules very close to each other. The distance between atoms or molecules is negligible. The atom or molecules can't escape out of solids.

Liquid: It is that states of matter in which atoms or molecules are close to each other but not very close as in solid.The distance between atoms or molecules is small.

Gas: It is that states of matter in which atoms or molecules are very far to each other .The distances between atoms or molecules are very large. The two two atoms can not come closer to each other at normal condition.

We are given that Zoe used two examples to represent two different states of matter

1.Example :Fish swimming around one another in an aquarium

It means fish can not escape out of aquarium. Hence, it represent the liquid states of matter.

2.Example: Fish swimming away one another in the ocean .

When fish swimming away one another ,Then they can'not come close to each other .Hence, it represents gas states of matter.

Therefore, option D is true.

Answer:Example 1 represents a solid and example 2 represents a gas
