Senario: You have two friends from another school that haven’t learned about gravity, like you have. They are having an intense argument about how astronauts on the moon avoid floating away into space.

• Friend 1 says the astronauts must have a cord tied to them at all times in order to avoid floating away into space.

• Friend 2 says the astronauts must always wear heavy boots to avoid floating away into space.

Directions:
Help your friends out by individually explaining why both of them are wrong. Cite specific evidence from previous sections of this task to back up your argument.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Maisie does not end her friendship with Laura after establishing her comparison level for alternatives because in the comparison of the outcomes when comparing the alternatives Maisie has, she sees that as her boyfriend is friends with Laura and use to hang out together, it would be very awkward to break the friendship with her knowing that she still has to see Laura when the boys get together.
