If you did not have access to a microscope on
your next investigation to determine the living or
nonliving nature of a sample, what might you do?

A substitution of microscope you could maybe use are loupes.

Explanation:

If you didn't know what that is, they're the glasses that dentists always wear. I hope this was the answer you were looking for, sorry if it wasn't

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
