Answer 1

An appropriate layering process for a compost pile would include a mix of green materials (nitrogen-rich) and brown materials (carbon-rich). Of the options provided, the first one appears to be the most suitable:

a layer of grass clippings, a layer of fruit scraps, some soil, and some water.

Grass clippings and fruit scraps provide nitrogen, while the soil adds microorganisms to help with decomposition. Water is essential to maintain moisture in the compost pile, facilitating the breakdown of materials.

The other options include cheese (which is not suitable for composting as it can attract pests) or inappropriate combinations of materials.
