If you mean before it is put in the tank then a good wash in a bucket is the normal thing. If on the other hand you mean how to remove the rubbish from gravel/sand in the aquarium already, then a syphon will usually lift the rubbish off the top. There are commercial air driven gravel syphons available at most pet shops.

How can you make a hypothesis about the question will the fish survive with only rice grain?

To make a hypothesis on this subject, think of what background knowledge you have on fish and their eating habits. Then, make an educated guess. Does rice grain have sufficient vitamins, energy, and supplements a fish needs? Think of it like this: humans need vegetables, meet, different vitamins, water ect. in order to survive. Fish need certain components in their diets in order to survive, also. Do you think rice grain would be enough? Depending on the fish type, your hypothesis may vary. Keep in mind no hypothesis is wrong. It is important you explain why you think fish can survive on rice grain, or why they cannot survive on rice grain. Start your hypothesis like this: If fish were only fed rice grain, then they would not survive because rice grain isn't sufficient enough for their diets.
