Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
The molasses level in the stem of the thistle tube goes up due to capillary action, which is the movement of a liquid through a narrow tube. This movement takes some time, but after 30 minutes, the molasses should have started to rise in the stem of the thistle tube. Therefore, the statement is true.
