1. A scientist performs an experiment to see if acids have an effect on the health of a particular type of plant. Three sets of plants were treated with acidic solutions of known pH while the control set was treated with a solution of neutral pH 7. What is the best conclusion for this experiment? (SC.912.N.1.1)

Acid has no effect on the health of this type of plant.
High acidity is helpful to this type of plant.
Low acidity is harmful to this type of plant.
High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The best conclusion for this experiment, based on the provided information, would be: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

This conclusion is inferred assuming that the data from the experiment would show that as the pH of the solution decreases (indicating higher acidity), the health of the plants decreases compared to the control group with neutral pH. However, the specific results of the experiment would ultimately determine the true conclusion.
