3. which method of cooking popcorn uses radiation? what evidence from the passage supports this? enter text…

To answer this, we need the passage (not provided here). But typically, using a microwave to cook popcorn uses radiation. Microwaves emit electromagnetic waves (radiation) that heat the water in the popcorn kernels, causing them to pop. If the passage states that microwaving popcorn involves waves heating the kernels without direct contact (like conduction from a pan or convection from hot air), that would support it. For example, if the passage says "Microwaves use radiation to heat the popcorn by sending waves that make the water molecules in the kernels vibrate, creating heat," that's evidence.

Since the passage isn't shown, a general answer with the common method (microwaving) and typical evidence is: "Using a microwave to cook popcorn uses radiation. Evidence (if from passage) would be text explaining that microwaves emit electromagnetic radiation (like microwave waves) that heats the popcorn kernels, e.g., 'Microwaves send radiation waves that heat the water in popcorn kernels, making them pop without direct contact with a heat - conducting surface or hot air currents.'"

(Note: If you provide the passage, the evidence part can be made more specific by quoting or paraphrasing the relevant lines from it.)
