This statement is incorrect. Waiting patiently does not involve any energy transfer to an object.
The statement "Ms. Smith waits patiently while her students settle into their seats" does NOT show an energy transfer to an object.
The statement "This DOES show an energy transfer to an object" is correct. Ms. Smith waiting patiently while her students settle into their seats indeed demonstrates an energy transfer to an object. In this case, the energy transfer is in the form of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. The students initially have potential energy in their bodies as they stand up, but as they settle into their seats, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as they move and sit down.
