Use the information below to answer the question.

A boy and his younger sister are at the zoo on a hot day. They each buy a cold lemonade. The boy buys a large lemonade, and his sister buys a small. They set their cups on a hot table and wait a while before they start drinking.

When they finally begin to drink their lemonade, the girl complains that her drink is no longer cold. However, the brother states that his larger drink is still cold.



What conclusions could the brother and sister accurately draw from their observations about how the sister's cup of lemonade is warmer? Choose the two that apply?

Group of answer choices

The thermal energy of a liquid is the same regardless of its size.

The particles in the warmer cup of lemonade have more kinetic energy than the particles in the colder cup of lemonade.

If there are two different amounts of the same liquid, the temperature is a good way to compare their thermal energies.

Energy from the hot table and warm air is transferred to the cold cups of lemonade.
