Synopsis: When car shopping, it's good to research your options.
Excerpt: How does a hybrid-electric car work? A hybrid-electric car is partly powered by a gasoline engine that is both lighter in weight and smaller in size than a standard gasoline engine. It also is partly powered by an electric motor and a battery. These power sources run at the same time, but not equally.

Question: If you saw two engines, one from a hybrid car and one from a standard car, how could you tell which one belonged to the hybrid?
  1. The hybrid car engine would be smaller.
  2. The hybrid car engine would be heavier.
  3. The standard car engine would be lighter.
  4. The standard car engine would be smaller.
