Answer 2

The technique that would be best to separate soil and water is- Decanting.

• Decantation is a separation method in which water or other liquid is separated from an immiscible substance by pouring the top layer of liquid into another container when the immiscible substance settles at the bottom.
• As sand is insoluble in water and after some time, it settles at the bottom hence, decantation is the best method to separate the mixture of sand and water.

Now let's once look at incorrect options.

• Distillation method is used to separate the mixture of two miscible liquids having difference in boiling points.
• Winnowing method is used to separate lighter particles from heavier particles.
• Evaporation is done to separate soluble solid substances from liquids.
