Question
Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length. What type of chemical reaction does this best model?
replacement
decomposition
polymerization
synthesis

The scenario involving Luis painting a continuous grapevine design around the walls can best be modeled by **polymerization**.
Polymerization is a process where small units (monomers) are repeated to form a larger, more complex structure (a polymer). In this case, each section of the design can be seen as a unit being repetitively applied along the length of the walls, similar to how monomers combine to form a polymer chain. Thus, the repetitive nature of Luis's work mimics the process of polymerization.
