Object $X$ lets very little light pass through so that objects behind it look blurry. Object $Y$ blocks light completely. Identify $X$ and $Y$.
  1. $X$ is Opaque, $Y$ is Transparent
  2. $X$ is Translucent, $Y$ is Opaque
  3. $X$ is Transparent, $Y$ is Translucent
  4. $X$ is Translucent, $Y$ is Transparent

Translucent objects allow partial transmission of light causing blurry views, while opaque objects block light entirely.
