Answer to Question 1

Answer: Particles suspended in the water move through circular orbits of decreasing diameter at deeper depths. The circular wave motion of water imparts a small amount of forward movement of the water. The motion beneath the passing wave decreases downward, so a particle of water moves farther when it moves up and forward than when it moves down and backward. Therefore water actually does move slowly in the direction of wave movement.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
