Answer 2

Answer:

The railway engine is a non-living thing.

Explanation:

The engine can move from one location to another and requires energy to operate, which are two characteristics of living things, yet despite these traits, it is still a non-living thing because:

• It can not reproduce.
• It does not have the ability to grow.
• It does not have the ability to metabolize.
• It does not have the ability to respond to stimuli.
• It does not have the ability to adapt to the environment.
• It does not have the ability to respire.
• It is not made up of cells.
• It can not perform basic chemical & physiological processes to sustain life.

Because of all these reasons, the railway engine is a non-living thing.
