Question
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) * 1 point 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.

The best conclusion for this experiment would depend on the observed results regarding the health of the plants treated with different levels of acidity compared to the control group. However, based on the information given, including that three sets of plants were treated with acidic solutions and a control group was treated with a neutral pH, here’s how to interpret potential outcomes:
- If the plants with low acidity levels (higher pH) showed better health than those with high acidity (lower pH), one might conclude: **High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.**
- Conversely, if the plants with high acidity displayed better health, the conclusion would be: **High acidity is helpful to this type of plant.**
- If there were no discernible differences across the groups, a possible conclusion could be: **Acid has no effect on the health of this type of plant.**
- If low acidity levels were detrimental, then: **Low acidity is harmful to this type of plant.**
However, without specific data from the experiment, the most general conclusion that could be drawn from the setup is: **High acidity is harmful to this type of plant**, given the typical effects of high acidity on most plants.
Please note: to affirm any of these conclusions accurately, the actual data and results from the experiment would need to be analyzed.
