Demonstration: Which solution has a higher concentration of pink particles?
Context: The diagram below is a model of two solutions. Each pink ball represents one particle of solute.
Options: (A) Solution A (B) Solution B (C) neither; their concentrations are the same
Answer: The answer is A
Rationale: To determine which solution has a higher concentration of pink particles, we need to compare the number of pink particles in each solution. In the image, there are 40 pink particles in Solution A and 40 pink particles in Solution B. Since the number of particles is the same in both solutions, their concentrations are also the same. Therefore, the answer is (C) neither; their concentrations are the same.
Wrong Rationale Steps: In the image, there are 40 pink particles in Solution A and 40 pink particles in Solution B. Since the number of particles is the same in both solutions, their concentrations are also the same.
Missing Skill: The model did not accurately observe the number of pink particles in each flask as shown in the image.
Query: Does this passage describe the weather or the climate?
Context: Figure: Chicago.
Chicago is known as The Windy City. But on average, the wind there only blows at about 10 miles per hour.
Hint: Weather is what the atmosphere is like at a certain place and time. Climate is the pattern of weather in a certain place.
Options: (A) weather (B) climate
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds Earth. Both weather and climate tell you about the atmosphere.
Weather is what the atmosphere is like at a certain place and time. Weather can change quickly. For example, the temperature outside your house might get higher throughout the day.
Climate is the pattern of weather in a certain place. For example, summer temperatures in New York are usually higher than winter temperatures. Read the passage carefully.
Chicago is known as The Windy City. But on average, the wind there only blows at about 10 miles per hour.
The underlined part of the passage tells you about the usual wind speed in Chicago. This passage describes the atmosphere at a certain place and time. So, this passage describes the weather. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: But on average, the wind there only blows at about 10 miles per hour. The underlined part of the passage tells you about the usual wind speed in Chicago. This passage describes the atmosphere at a certain place and time. So, this passage describes the weather. The answer is A.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this case is the ability to analyze and interpret information in order to differentiate between weather and climate. The person incorrectly assumed that because the passage describes the atmosphere at a certain place and time (Chicago), it must be describing weather. However, the passage also mentions that Chicago is known as The Windy City, indicating that the wind speed there is a consistent and characteristic feature, which is more indicative of climate.

Query: Would you find the word import on a dictionary page with the following guide words?
ill - industry
Context: N/A
Options: (A) no (B) yes
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Guide words appear on each page of a dictionary. They tell you the first word and last word on the page. The other words on the page come between the guide words in alphabetical order.
To put words in alphabetical order, put them in order by their first letters. If the first letters are the same, look at the second letters. If the second letters are the same, look at the third letters, and so on.
If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order. For example, be comes before bed. Put the words in alphabetical order.
Since import is not between the guide words ill - industry, it would not be found on that page. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order. For example, be comes before bed. Put the words in alphabetical order. Since import is not between the guide words ill - industry, it would not be found on that page. The answer is A.
Missing Skill:

The model did not accurately follow the process of putting words in alphabetical order and determining if a word falls between the guide words.

Query: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.
Options: (A) The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2. (B) The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1. (C) The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
The strength of a force is called its magnitude. The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them. The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller when there is a greater distance between the magnets. The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller.
There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other. You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them. The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller when there is a greater distance between the magnets. The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel.
Missing Skill:

Understanding that the magnitude of the magnetic force is determined by factors such as the strength of the magnets and the distance between them, and that the direction of the force (attraction or repulsion) does not affect the magnitude of the force.

Query: Which solution has a higher concentration of yellow particles?
Context: The diagram below is a model of two solutions. Each yellow ball represents one particle of solute.
Options: (A) Solution A (B) Solution B (C) neither; their concentrations are the same
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: A solution is made up of two or more substances that are completely mixed. In a solution, solute particles are mixed into a solvent. The solute cannot be separated from the solvent by a filter. For example, if you stir a spoonful of salt into a cup of water, the salt will mix into the water to make a saltwater solution. In this case, the salt is the solute. The water is the solvent.
The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of the ratio of solute to solvent. Concentration can be described in terms of particles of solute per volume of solvent.
concentration = particles of solute / volume of solvent In Solution A and Solution B, the yellow particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of yellow particles, look at both the number of yellow particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.
Use the concentration formula to find the number of yellow particles per milliliter.
Solution A has more yellow particles per milliliter. So, Solution A has a higher concentration of yellow particles. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: concentration = particles of solute / volume of solvent In Solution A and Solution B, the yellow particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of yellow particles, look at both the number of yellow particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.

Context: N/A
Options: (A) no (B) yes
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Guide words appear on each page of a dictionary. They tell you the first word and last word on the page. The other words on the page come between the guide words in alphabetical order.
To put words in alphabetical order, put them in order by their first letters. If the first letters are the same, look at the second letters. If the second letters are the same, look at the third letters, and so on.
If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order. For example, be comes before bed. Put the words in alphabetical order.
Since wild is not between the guide words well - word, it would not be found on that page. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order. For example, be comes before bed.

Query: Will these magnets attract or repel each other?
Context: Two magnets are placed as shown.

Hint: Magnets that attract pull together. Magnets that repel push apart.
Options: (A) repel (B) attract
Answer: The answer is A
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart.
Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles, or ends. Every magnet has two poles, called north and south.
Here are some examples of magnets. The north pole of each magnet is marked N, and the south pole is marked S.
If different poles are closest to each other, the magnets attract. The magnets in the pair below attract.
If the same poles are closest to each other, the magnets repel. The magnets in both pairs below repel.
 Will these magnets attract or repel? To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other.
The south pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Poles that are different attract. So, these magnets will attract each other. The answer is B.
Key Wrong Steps: The magnets in both pairs below repel. Will these magnets attract or repel? To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other. The south pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Poles that are different attract.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this case is the ability to determine the correct pole orientation of the magnets in order to determine whether they will attract or repel each other.

Query: Which of the following fossils is younger? Select the more likely answer.
Context: This diagram shows fossils in an undisturbed sedimentary rock sequence.
Options: (A) crocodile egg (B) feather
Answer: The answer is A
Wrong Rationale: A fossil is the preserved evidence of an ancient organism. Some fossils are formed from body parts such as bones or shells. Other fossils, such as footprints or burrows, are formed from traces of an organism's activities.
Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks usually form in layers. Over time, new layers are added on top of old layers in a series called a rock sequence. The layers in an undisturbed rock sequence are in the same order as when they formed. So, the deeper layers are older than the shallower layers.
The relative ages of fossils can be determined from their positions in an undisturbed rock sequence. Older fossils are usually in deeper layers, and younger fossils are usually in shallower layers. Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram.
Compare the positions of these fossils to determine which one is younger:
The feather fossil is in a shallower layer in the rock sequence than the crocodile egg fossil. So, the feather fossil is most likely younger than the crocodile egg fossil. The answer is B.
Key Wrong Steps: The relative ages of fossils can be determined from their positions in an undisturbed rock sequence. Older fossils are usually in deeper layers, and younger fossils are usually in shallower layers. Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram. Compare the positions of these fossils to determine which one is younger:
The feather fossil is in a shallower layer in the rock sequence than the crocodile egg fossil. So, the feather fossil is most likely younger than the crocodile egg fossil.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill is understanding the principle of superposition in geology, which states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the younger rocks are found on top of older rocks.

Wrong Rationale: To study air masses, scientists can use maps that show conditions within Earth's atmosphere. For example, the map below uses color to show air temperatures.
The map's legend tells you the temperature that each color represents. Colors on the left in the legend represent lower temperatures than colors on the right. For example, areas on the map that are the darkest shade of blue have a temperature from -25°C up to -20°C. Areas that are the next darkest shade of blue have a temperature from -20°C up to -15°C. Look at the colors shown within the outlined area. Then, use the legend to determine which air temperatures those colors represent.
The legend tells you that this air mass contained air with temperatures between 5°C and 20°C.
10°C is within this range.
5°C and 32°C are outside of this range. The answer is B.
Key Wrong Steps: Areas that are the next darkest shade of blue have a temperature from -20°C up to -15°C. Look at the colors shown within the outlined area.

Query: Will these magnets attract or repel each other?
Context: Two magnets are placed as shown.
Options: (A) attract (B) repel
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on other magnets without touching them. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes are called magnetic forces.
Magnetic forces are strongest at the magnets' poles, or ends. Every magnet has two poles: a north pole (N) and a south pole (S).
Here are some examples of magnets. Their poles are shown in different colors and labeled.
Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles.
If opposite poles are closest to each other, the magnets attract. The magnets in the pair below attract.
If the same, or like, poles are closest to each other, the magnets repel. The magnets in both pairs below repel. To predict if these magnets will attract or repel, look at which poles are closest to each other.
The south pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Opposite poles attract. So, these magnets will attract each other. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: The magnets in the pair below attract. If the same, or like, poles are closest to each other, the magnets repel. The magnets in both pairs below repel. To predict if these magnets will attract or repel, look at which poles are closest to each other. The south pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this case is the ability to determine the positions of the poles of the magnets and understand how opposite and like poles interact.

Query: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.
Options: (A) The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs. (B) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 2. (C) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1.
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart.
These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
You can change the strength of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them. The magnetic force is weaker when the magnets are farther apart. Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are farther apart, the magnetic force between them is weaker.
The magnets in Pair 1 are farther apart than the magnets in Pair 2. So, the magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. The answer is C.
Key Wrong Steps: The magnetic force is weaker when the magnets are farther apart. Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are farther apart, the magnetic force between them is weaker. The magnets in Pair 1 are farther apart than the magnets in Pair 2. So, the magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Options: (A) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2. (B) The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs. (C) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1.
Answer: The answer is C
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
The strength of a force is called its magnitude. The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by using magnets of different sizes. The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater when the magnets are larger. Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Query: Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Context: The diagrams below show two pure samples of gas in identical closed, rigid containers. Each colored ball represents one gas particle. Both samples have the same number of particles.
Options: (A) neither; the samples have the same temperature (B) sample B (C) sample A
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance.
The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of each particle in the substance and the higher the average speed of the particles, the higher their average kinetic energy. The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.
Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature. The answer is C.
Key Wrong Steps: The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance. The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of each particle in the substance and the higher the average speed of the particles, the higher their average kinetic energy. The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.

Therefore, the answer is (C) neither; their concentrations are the same.
Wrong Rationale Steps: In the image, there are 40 pink particles in Solution A and 40 pink particles in Solution B. Since the number of particles is the same in both solutions, their concentrations are also the same.
Missing Skill: The model did not accurately observe the number of pink particles in each flask as shown in the image.
Query: Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds in a new location?
Context: Read the passage. Then answer the question.

Megabats are large-bodied bats that eat fruit, including figs.
When a megabat eats a fig, it may also swallow the seeds inside the fig. The bat gets energy from the fruit but cannot digest the seeds. The seeds pass through the bat's digestive system and are disposed of in its feces.
The bat often drops the seeds far from the fig tree that produced the fruit. When a seed germinates, or begins to grow, in a new location, it doesn't need to compete with its parent tree for resources. So, both the fig seed and the parent tree have a better chance of surviving.
Figure: a megabat carrying a fig away from a fig tree.
Options: (A) parasitic (B) mutualistic (C) commensal
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: When two organisms of different species interact in a way that affects one or both organisms, they form a symbiotic relationship. The word symbiosis comes from a Greek word that means living together. Scientists define types of symbiotic relationships based on how each organism is affected.
This table lists three common types of symbiotic relationships. It shows how each organism is affected in each type of symbiotic relationship.
Type of symbiotic relationship | Organism of one species... | Organism of the other species...
Commensal | benefits | is not significantly affected
Mutualistic | benefits | benefits
Parasitic | benefits | is harmed (but not usually killed) When a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds in a new location, the bat gets energy from the fruit but cannot digest the seeds. So, the bat benefits from its interaction with the fig tree, but the tree is harmed.
Since the bat benefits and the tree is harmed, a commensal relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds in a new location. The answer is C.
Key Wrong Steps: It shows how each organism is affected in each type of symbiotic relationship. Type of symbiotic relationship | Organism of one species... | Organism of the other species...
Commensal | benefits | is not significantly affected
Mutualistic | benefits | benefits
Parasitic | benefits | is harmed (but not usually killed) When a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds in a new location, the bat gets energy from the fruit but cannot digest the seeds. So, the bat benefits from its interaction with the fig tree, but the tree is harmed. Since the bat benefits and the tree is harmed, a commensal relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the fig tree's seeds in a new location. The answer is C.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill is understanding the concept of mutualistic relationships and how they differ from commensal relationships. The student incorrectly assumed that because the bat benefits from the interaction and the tree is harmed, it must be a commensal relationship. However, in a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit from the interaction, which is the case in this scenario.

Query: Which of the following fossils is younger? Select the more likely answer.
Context: This diagram shows fossils in an undisturbed sedimentary rock sequence.
Options: (A) wood (B) mammal tooth
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: A fossil is the preserved evidence of an ancient organism. Some fossils are formed from body parts such as bones or shells. Other fossils, such as footprints or burrows, are formed from traces of an organism's activities.
Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks usually form in layers. Over time, new layers are added on top of old layers in a series called a rock sequence. The layers in an undisturbed rock sequence are in the same order as when they formed. So, the deeper layers are older than the shallower layers.
The relative ages of fossils can be determined from their positions in an undisturbed rock sequence. Older fossils are usually in deeper layers, and younger fossils are usually in shallower layers. Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram.
Compare the positions of these fossils to determine which one is younger:
The wood fossil is in a shallower layer in the rock sequence than the mammal tooth fossil. So, the wood fossil is most likely younger than the mammal tooth fossil. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: The relative ages of fossils can be determined from their positions in an undisturbed rock sequence. Older fossils are usually in deeper layers, and younger fossils are usually in shallower layers. Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram. Compare the positions of these fossils to determine which one is younger:
The wood fossil is in a shallower layer in the rock sequence than the mammal tooth fossil. So, the wood fossil is most likely younger than the mammal tooth fossil.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this query is the ability to analyze the positions of fossils in an undisturbed rock sequence to determine their relative ages.

Query: In this food web, which organism contains matter that eventually moves to the bat star?
Context: Below is a food web from an ocean ecosystem in Monterey Bay, off the coast of California.
A food web models how the matter eaten by organisms moves through an ecosystem. The arrows in a food web represent how matter moves between organisms in an ecosystem.
Options: (A) kelp (B) sea otter (C) orca
Answer: The answer is A
Wrong Rationale: A food web is a model.
A food web shows where organisms in an ecosystem get their food. Models can make things in nature easier to understand because models can represent complex things in a simpler way. If a food web showed every organism in an ecosystem, the food web would be hard to understand. So, each food web shows how some organisms in an ecosystem can get their food.
Arrows show how matter moves.
A food web has arrows that point from one organism to another. Each arrow shows the direction that matter moves when one organism eats another organism. An arrow starts from the organism that is eaten. The arrow points to the organism that is doing the eating.
An organism in a food web can have more than one arrow pointing from it. This shows that the organism is eaten by more than one other organism in the food web.
An organism in a food web can also have more than one arrow pointing to it. This shows that the organism eats more than one other organism in the food web. Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows to the bat star.
The only arrow pointing from the sea otter leads to the orca. The only arrow pointing from the orca leads to the killer whale. No arrows point from the killer whale to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the sea otter to the bat star.
The only arrow pointing from the kelp leads to the sea urchin. The only arrow pointing from the sea urchin leads to the sea otter. No arrows point from the sea otter to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the kelp to the bat star.The only arrow pointing from the zooplankton leads to the plainfin midshipman. The only arrow pointing from the plainfin midshipman leads to the zooplankton. No arrows point from the zooplankton to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the zooplankton to the bat star. The answer is C.
Key Wrong Steps: This shows that the organism eats more than one other organism in the food web. Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows to the bat star. The only arrow pointing from the sea otter leads to the orca. The only arrow pointing from the orca leads to the killer whale.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this query is the ability to interpret and follow the arrows in a food web to determine the flow of matter in an ecosystem.

Query: Which animal is also adapted to be camouflaged in a sandy desert?
Context: Camels live in dry places such as deserts. The is adapted to be camouflaged in a sandy desert.
Figure: camel.
Options: (A) kingsnake (B) horned viper
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: An adaptation is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can include both body parts and behaviors.
The color, texture, and covering of an animal's skin are examples of adaptations. Animals' skins can be adapted in different ways. For example, skin with thick fur might help an animal stay warm. Skin with sharp spines might help an animal defend itself against predators. Look at the picture of the camel.
The camel has sand-colored fur covering its skin. It is adapted to be camouflaged in a sandy desert. The word camouflage means to blend in.
Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation.
The kingsnake has sand-colored scales covering its body. It is adapted to be camouflaged in a sandy desert.
The horned viper has a dark, bumpy body. It is not adapted to be camouflaged in a sandy desert. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: Animals' skins can be adapted in different ways. For example, skin with thick fur might help an animal stay warm. Skin with sharp spines might help an animal defend itself against predators. Look at the picture of the camel. The camel has sand-colored fur covering its skin.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this case is the ability to accurately observe and analyze the visual characteristics of the animals. The person incorrectly identified the kingsnake as having sand-colored scales, when in fact it does not. They also incorrectly identified the horned viper as not being adapted for camouflage, when in fact it is. The skill needed here is visual observation and recognizing the specific features that contribute to camouflage in a sandy desert environment.

Query: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material, but some of them are different sizes.
Options: (A) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1. (B) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2. (C) The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.
Answer: The answer is B
Wrong Rationale: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
The strength of a force is called its magnitude. The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by using magnets of different sizes. The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater when the magnets are larger. The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. The answer is A.
Key Wrong Steps: The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other. You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by using magnets of different sizes. The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater when the magnets are larger. The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 repel.
Missing Skill:

The missing skill in this query is understanding the relationship between magnet size and the magnitude of the magnetic force. The wrong rationale incorrectly assumes that the larger magnet in Pair 1 would result in a greater magnitude of the magnetic force compared to Pair 2. However, this is not necessarily true as the size of the magnets does not always determine the magnitude of the magnetic force.
