1. The phenomenon that spontaneous generation attempted to describe is:
**B. Reproduction**
2. Here’s a completed sentence using the provided answer choices:
The disproven theory of spontaneous generation claims that things are "born" directly from **nonliving** things as long as the environmental conditions are right.
3. To convince people in Ancient Egypt that eels do not come directly from mud, you could present observations of eels in their natural habitats. You could say that eels come from eggs laid in water rather than being spontaneously generated from mud. You might show them the lifecycle of eels, explaining that they begin as eggs and develop into eels in water bodies, rather than appearing from mud when conditions are right. Supporting this claim with examples of other aquatic life and their reproduction would help strengthen your argument.
