You are on a project where they have just dug a test pit to
observe the shallow subsurface and need to use the disturbed soil
for classification. The soil appears to be coarse-grained, with
more than 50% of the particles being subrounded and the same size
of roughly 0.25”. The remaining portion of the soil appears to be
composed of smaller, visible particles that exhibit no plasticity.

soil? Briefly explain your answer
