Task 2: Absorbency to Waterproof

#### Instructions:
- Order the objects from most absorbent to waterproof.
- One example is already done for you.

#### Objects:
1. Gloves (already placed as "most absorbent")
2. Notebook paper
3. Sponge

- Sponge: Sponges are highly absorbent because they are designed to soak up water. They can hold a significant amount of liquid.
- Toilet Paper: Toilet paper is very absorbent, designed to soak up liquids efficiently.

#### Ordering:
1. Most absorbent: Gloves
2. Quite absorbent: Toilet paper
3. A little absorbent: Sponge
4. Waterproof: Notebook paper

#### Final Answer:
- Gloves: Most absorbent
- Toilet paper: Quite absorbent
- Sponge: A little absorbent
- Notebook paper: Waterproof
