Pretty important question in certain circumstances, right? We must have a “litmus test” to find the answer. • How we get our answer: Using the litmus paper • * If the paper turns RED when dipped in the substance then the substance = acid • * If the paper turns BLUE when dipped in the substance then the substance = base
Is he/she a dynamic or static character? 1. How do you know if someone is truly a GOOD person? The litmus test is a metaphor we use when trying to find an answer.
