Answer 1

b. All rocks are made of minerals.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rock is a mixture of two or more minerals. It does not usually have a specific shape. Granite consists of several different minerals.

A mineral has a specific composition in which the atoms occupy positions in a crystal lattice. Minerals like halite usually have a characteristic crystal shape.

Thus, all rocks are made of minerals, but minerals are not made of rocks.
