🔍 Key Concepts

• Different methods of oil spill response, such as mechanical, chemical, and absorbent techniques • What materials like straw and paper fibers actually do when they come into contact with oil • How the name of each option relates to the physical action being taken on the oil

💭 Think About

• Think about the basic job of straw or paper fibers when placed on an oil spill: are they breaking oil down, pushing it away, or soaking it up? • Which option best matches a process where the oil is taken into or held by another material rather than pushed or scraped off the water? • Does using straw or paper fibers involve adding a chemical that changes the oil, or is it more of a physical interaction between two materials?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether straw and paper fibers are chemicals or materials that interact physically with oil • Decide if the main action here is scraping/skimming/moving oil or taking it into another substance • Match the plain‑English meaning of each choice (chemical, mechanical, absorbent) with what straw and paper fibers actually do in practice
