When you blow some air above a paper strip, the paper, rises. This is because 1.) the air above the paper moves faster and the pressure is lower 2.) the air above moves faster and the pressure is higher 3.) the air above the paper moves faster and the pressure remains constant 4.) the air above the paper moves slower and the pressure is higher 5.) the air above the paper moves slower and the pressure is lower

This is happened because "the air" above "moves faster" and "the pressure" is "lower".

Option: 1

Explanation:

Air movement take place from the region where air pressure is more than the region where the pressure is low. When we "blow" air above the "paper strip" paper rises because "low pressure" is created above the strip as high speed winds always travel with reduced air pressure. Hence due to higher air pressure below the strip, it is pushed upwards. This difference in pressure results into fast air moves. This happen because "speed" of the wind depends on "the difference between the pressures" of the air in the two regions.
