When plants are placed in a bigger pot, the roots have more room to spread out, making it more optimal for a plant to grow taller.

b)

Sometimes, plants just enjoy being in a bigger pot. When a plant enjoys its pot more it will grow taller

c)

No one really knows why, it just happened.

1.1.4

Which reasoning explains the following evidence? "According to the study, students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower on their exams."

a)

When a person has had less sleep they can have a harder time remembering things, focusing, and reading. All of these can result in mistakes on an exam which could explain the lower score.

b)

When a person has had less sleep they are often in a bad mood. Exams also put people in a bad mood.

c)

I got an A on my last history test after studying all night, so maybe they did the experiment with people who are bad at studying?

d)

The evidence supports the claim that people who get less sleep do poorly on exams because students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower.
