$5$ points: Based on the graph below, which is taken from an Atterberg Limits test using the Casagrande Apparatus, Soil Sample $1($SS $1)$ is shown on the graph. Soil sample $2($SS $2)$ is not shown but has a Liquid Limit of $31\mathrm{.}1\%.$

What should be generally true about SS $2?$ Mark all the correct answers.

A$.$ SS $1$ has a higher shear strength than SS $2.$

B$.$ SS$1$ has a lower compressive strength than SS$2.$

C$.$ SS $2$ has a lower shear strength than SS $1.$

D$.$ SS $2$ has a higher compressive strength than SS $1.$

$10$ points: Based on the sieve analysis graph below, determine the $d10,d50$ and $d90.$ Using the USDA Soil Classification System, how is this soil classified? Is this a fine$-$grained or coarse$-$grained material?

d$10$ d$50$ d$90$

Fine$-$Grained or Coarse$-$Grained?

How would you classify this soil?
