Question

Who is correct and why?

Answer

In this scenario, Jackie is correct, and Amanda is wrong. Objects can be disassembled or broken apart to form new objects. In the case of a piece of paper, it is much like a puzzle, the pieces can be put back together to reform the paper, or they can be formed into something new by changing their order.
