To determine which description most accurately matches the table results, let's systematically analyze the properties of each student's substance:
Firstly, let’s review the general properties of matter in different states:
- Solid: Has a definite shape and a definite volume.
- Liquid: Does not have a definite shape but has a definite volume.
- Gas: Does not have a definite shape and does not have a definite volume.
Now, examining each student’s observations:
1. Leonna: The problem description does not provide detailed characteristics, so we assume that she has a substance to help deduce the rest.
2. Xiao:
- Definite shape? No information directly in the given table.
- Definite volume? Yes.
- Based on the fact that Xiao's substance has a definite volume but no information about definite shape (assuming input errors or missing information reflect an indeterminate shape), it is logical to classify it based on the volume property.
- The closest match: Liquid (since it has a definite volume but not necessarily a definite shape).
3. Blake:
- Definite shape? No.
- Definite volume? Yes.
- According to standard substance states, since Blake's substance does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume, this fits the definition of a Liquid.
4. Amir:
- Definite shape? Yes.
- Definite volume? No.
- This does not conform to any standard state of matter known (Solids have both definite shape and volume; Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and Gases have neither). Hence, this suggests an anomaly or potential error in interpretation.
Thus, summarizing the findings:
1. Leonna has a solid.
2. Xiao has a liquid.
3. Blake, based on logical deduction, likely made an inaccurate recording or misinterpretation because the table would suggest a duplicate property for liquids (which could fairly have led to confusion).
4. Amir’s findings do not align well with any typical states of matter.
The most accurate description of the table is thus:
- Leonna has a solid.
- Xiao has a liquid.
- Blake made a mistake.
- Amir has a gas.
Therefore, the correct and most fitting answer is:
Leonna has a solid, Xiao has a liquid, Blake made a mistake, and Amir has a gas.
