1 and 7 are close in meaning. 5 seems to mean that one will float, but two or more won't. It's unclear though.
2 and 8 are close. 6 seems to mean that one will float, but more than one won't.
3 and 9 are close although 3 refers to banana peels in general, and 9 seems to be referring to one in particular. **
** This relationship applies to 4 and 10, too.

Look at the subject in each sentence, please.
Are the subjects all in generic use from #1 to #4?
Does #1 mean #5 or #7?
Does #2 mean #6 or #8?
Does #3 mean #9?
Does #4 mean #10?
