Answer and worked solution
Official answer: B
Statement 1. A quick pull lasts so short a time that the friction impulse on the dishes is tiny; by inertia they stay almost where they are. True.
Statement 2. Newton's third law is true but it is not the reason (the reason is inertia, Newton's first law, and the small impulse).
(B)
