Best answer: "The beach ball is less strongly attracted to Earth."
Explanation: Weight is the gravitational force on an object (F = mg). A beach ball contains mostly air and has much less mass than a bowling ball, so the gravitational force on it is smaller. (Saying it "has more air" is true but only explains why its mass is small; "pushes harder" and "has more mass" are wrong.)
