Animals drank the water. The wind stopped blowing. Someone dried the puddles. The water evaporated during the day.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: In the morning, students observed puddles of water all over the playground. What would best explain why the playground was dry in the afternoon?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Animals drank the water.
- The wind stopped blowing.
- Someone dried the puddles.
- The water evaporated during the day.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

The water evaporated during the day.
