Answer 1

The correct response is: **The temperature of the ice increases, while the temperature of the water decreases.**

When the bottle of liquid water is placed in the tub of ice, heat will flow from the warmer water to the colder ice. As a result, the temperature of the water will decrease, and the temperature of the ice will increase as it absorbs heat and begins to melt.
