• B. Scenario I: Pull; Scenario II: Push
• C. Scenario I: Pull; Scenario II: Pull
• D. Scenario I: Push; Scenario II: Push

Answer 1

The correct option is B Scenario I: Pull; Scenario II: Push

Scenario I: When we draw water from the well, we try to move the rope towards ourselves. Therefore, it is a ‘Pull’ scenario.
Scenario II: When we try to move a heavy box, we try to push it away from us. Therefore, it is a ‘Push’ scenario.
