Answer 1

The correct option is: Burning toast is a chemical change; straining orange juice is a physical change.

• Burning toast involves a chemical change because it alters the chemical composition of the bread.
• Straining orange juice is a physical change because it separates the pulp from the liquid without changing the chemical composition of the juice itself.
