Responses
If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will increase.
If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will increase.
If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.
If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.
If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will not change.
If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will not change.

The best argument that supports the person's statement is: "If the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease."
The argument that best supports the person's statement is: "If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease." This is because according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, as the distance between the objects increases, the gravitational force will decrease.
The best argument that supports the person's statement is:
If the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between the objects will decrease.
