Solution
To determine the states of matter in the mixture of soil, we need to identify the state of each component:
- Sand: Sand is a solid.
- Dead plant matter: Dead plant matter is also a solid.
- Water: Water is a liquid.
- Air: Air is a gas.
Therefore, the mixture contains solids (sand and dead plant matter), a liquid (water), and a gas (air).
The option that best completes the sentence is: solid, liquid and gas.
