Which best completes the sentence?
If something can respond to a stimulus, then it
A. is a living thing.
B. might be a living thing.
C. is not a living thing.
Answer (3)
The answer is A Because if something responds to a stimulus, it cannot be dead because that isn't logically possible and it can't be might because there is no possibility of it not being a live and only living things respond to stimulus and that is the only answer left that can and is correct.
It is B. I do not know why, it just is. I did get it right on my test when I put B.
The best choice to complete the sentence is B: "might be a living thing". This is because responding to stimuli is a characteristic of living things, but it does not exclusively apply to them as some non-living systems can also react. Thus, it is more accurate to say it might indicate life.
