Answer 1

The first response is incorrect. The question is asking for a comparison of proportional relationships, not the absolute size of growth.

The second response is correct. The strawberry plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.

The third response is also incorrect. The question is not asking for a comparison of the total growth of each plant, but rather the rate at which they are growing.
