To determine which changes are physical changes, we need to analyze the criteria given in the table:

  • Reacts with another substance?: Chemical change if "yes."
  • Temperature change?: Chemical change if "yes."
  • Gas, sound, or light produced?: Chemical change if "yes."
  • New substance formed?: Chemical change if "yes."

From this, we can conclude:

  • Change 1: Reacts (yes), temperature change (yes), gas/sound/light produced (yes), new substance formed (yes) → Chemical change.
  • Change 2: Does not react (no), temperature change (yes), gas/sound/light produced (yes), new substance formed (no) → Physical change (since there is no reaction and no new substance formed).
  • Change 3: Reacts (yes), temperature change (yes), gas/sound/light produced (yes), new substance formed (yes) → Chemical change.
  • Change 4: Does not react (no), no temperature change (no), no gas/sound/light produced (no), no new substance formed (no) → Physical change (neither a reaction nor new substance).

Based on this analysis, the changes that are physical changes are 2 and 4. Therefore, the correct response is:

2 and 4.
