2. Student B: "The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight."
3. Student C: "Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object."
4. Student D: "Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons."

Correct statements:
- Student B: "The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight."
- Student C: "Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object."
- Student D: "Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons."
