A mechanic is comparing two different oils for a car engine. Oil A pours very slowly and thickly, while Oil B pours quickly and thinly. Which statement is true?
Oil A has a higher viscosity than Oil B.
Oil B has a higher viscosity than Oil A.
Both oils have the same viscosity.
Viscosity cannot be determined by how a liquid pours.

A doctor might prescribe a medication commonly called a "blood thinner" to a patient at risk for heart problems. These medicines don't actually make the blood thinner, but instead they:
Increase the patient's blood pressure to push clots through faster.
Make it harder for the blood to clot, so it flows more easily.
Dissolve all the red blood cells to turn the blood into water.
Lower the temperature of the blood to make it more viscous.
Make it harder for the blood to clot, so it flows more easily.
