Question 1
Easy
Passage
Soil amendment
A greenhouse class compared fictional soil mixtures while keeping water, light, and seed variety constant. The researchers “maintain” that the narrower interpretation remains plausible. Here, to maintain is to assert as a position; the next sentence restates that exact action. The relationship is stated directly. The design allowed the students to interpret differences with appropriate caution.
