True: 1, 3, and 4. False: 2.
Brief explanations:
- Water covers about 70–75% of the Earth's surface (often rounded to 75%), so that statement is essentially correct.
- Water can be reused repeatedly via the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation) and by treatment, so it is not lost forever.
- Only about 2.5–3% of Earth's water is fresh water (the rest is saline).
- Most plants and animals are majority water by mass (many plants 70–95% water, many animals 60–80%), so water comprises the majority of their composition.
