Answer:

A. An inexpensive, light-weight plastic baffle was placed between the front of the gas tank and the differential housing.

Explanation:

In 1967, the Ford Pinto was developed, and Ford intended to launch a small and carefree American car into the market.

The result was a car that went out of production with two serious series defects: on the one hand, the tank, located on the rear axle - a common practice in those years by more car manufacturers - made cars explode very easily since the fuel tank broke when the car suffered a small impact from behind since its weak structures did not prevent the differential bolts from ending up in the tank when moving. Thus the fuel ended up spilling and causing a great fire to jump the slightest spark after the impact; on the other hand, a crash from behind at about 40 km / h left the vehicle as an accordion and blocked the doors. A combination that made the Ford Pinto a terrible deadly trap.

Scallops lived before the dinosaurs.

Explanation:

In this image of rock layers and fossil records, we can see fossils of two different organisms, one being a dinosaur (predatory by the looks of it) and the other being of scallops. The scallops are found only in one rock layer, and the same is the case with the dinosaur fossil.

This suggests that both the scallops and the dinosaurs lived only during those periods, not before them and not after them. Since the scallops are found at the bottom rock layer, and the dinosaurs in the rock layer above them, with both rock layers being undisturbed, it means that the scallops lived before the dinosaurs. It also means that the scallops didn't existed alongside the dinosaurs, but instead the dinosaurs occurred when the scallops were already extinct.
