b.Newton's Third Law
c.Newton's Second Law

Answer 1

Here’s the correct matching of the scenarios to Newton's Laws:

1. As a man steps forward off of a boat, the boat moves backwards.
   b. Newton's Third Law

2. A stationary book on the table must be picked up in order for it to move.
   a. Newton's First Law

3. A soccer ball rests on a field until it is kicked.
   a. Newton's First Law

4. Increasing the mass on an object experiencing the same force would decrease the acceleration.
   c. Newton's Second Law

5. A man pushes on a wall, and the wall pushes back on the man.
   b. Newton's Third Law

6. A rocket made with lighter composite materials will accelerate faster than a heavier one.
   c. Newton's Second Law

So, the final matches are: 1 - b 2 - a 3 - a 4 - c 5 - b 6 - c
