sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is a more less question. It is a powerful thing to learn. More/Less can be very confusing. This one seems to be no exception. The key sentence is this one.

The deeper the sub goes, the higher the pressure becomes.

So deeper means more pressure.

A is certainly one answer. 58 < 71. That means that 71 is deeper than 58. Deeper means more pressure. So 58 has less pressure than 71

B Deeper means more pressure. 389 is deeper than 240.

389 has more pressure.

C 28 is deeper than 9.  deeper is more pressure. C is wrong.

D Same reason 198 is deeper than 195.

deeper is more

198 has the most pressure.
