Question

A sub's hull contains everything (crew, engine, supplies, equipment) inside the sub. The hull is shaped like a tube, which allows the sub to glide through the water. Made of steel or titanium, sub hulls are super strong. They need to be. That's because there's a lot of pressure underwater. The deeper the sub goes, the higher the pressure becomes.

Using the information above as a guide, which of the following statements is correct?

A) The pressure at 58 meters below sea level is lower than the pressure at 71 meters below sea level.

B) The pressure at 389 meters below sea level is lower than the pressure at 340 meters below sea level.

C) The pressure at 9 meters below sea level is higher than the pressure at 28 meters below sea level.

D) The pressure at 195 meters below sea level is higher than the pressure at 198 meters below sea level.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a more less question. It is a powerful thing to learn. More/Less can be very confusing. This one seems to be no exception. The key sentence is this one.

The deeper the sub goes, the higher the pressure becomes.

So deeper means more pressure.

A is certainly one answer. 58 < 71. That means that 71 is deeper than 58. Deeper means more pressure. So 58 has less pressure than 71

B Deeper means more pressure. 389 is deeper than 240.

389 has more pressure.

C 28 is deeper than 9. deeper is more pressure. C is wrong.

D Same reason 198 is deeper than 195.

deeper is more

198 has the most pressure.
