Question:

Assume you placed a drop of water over a transparent plastic sheet with a whole page of notes under the transp?

The letter viewed through the drop would be smaller than the others would because the drop acts as a concave lens.The letter viewed through the drop would be larger than the others would because the drop acts as a concave lens.The letter viewed through the drop would be smaller than the others would because the drop acts as a convex lens.The letter viewed through the drop would be larger than the others would because the drop acts as a convex lens.

Answer:

4th one The drop forms a convex lens. The paper is inside the focal length of the lens so any image formed is upright, virtual and ...!!!! magnified !!!!... ;-)
the index of refraction is higher for water than that of air so...nevermind, when water gets on your windshield you see things distorted, but what is happening is that the light entering through the water drops and into the windshield are being bent, the water causes images to appear larger because they are magnified. So the water dropped would definitely cause a larger image (letters larger) and that is because the water acts as a concave lens. concave lens- appear larger - bends out () convex lens- appear smaller - bends in )(
