Which two arguments can be made using the student's data?
A.
Magnet 2 requires a source of electricity.
B.
Magnet 5 is the strongest of the magnets.
C.
Magnets 2 and 5 are permanent magnets that can attract iron objects.
D.
Magnets 1, 3, and 4 are permanent magnets that can be turned on and off.
E.
Magnets 2 and 5 are electromagnets because their magnetic strength can be adjusted.
F.
Magnets 1, 3, and 4 are electromagnets because their magnetic field strength did not change.

Based on the information provided, here are the two arguments that can be made using the student's data:
**B. Magnet 5 is the strongest of the magnets.**
This can be inferred if the data shows that Magnet 5 attracted more paperclips than the other magnets.
**E. Magnets 2 and 5 are electromagnets because their magnetic strength can be adjusted.**
If the data indicates that the strength of Magnets 2 and 5 can vary (for example, if they attracted different numbers of paperclips in the two trials), this supports the idea that they are electromagnets.
The other options do not align as well with the typical characteristics of permanent magnets and electromagnets based on the description given.
