Use this paragraph to answer the question.
Marta was nervous about taking care of her neighbor's potted plants. She had no experience with gardening, and her family never kept plants inside the house due to her mother's allergies. Now, in Mrs. Brown's sunroom that was crowded with more than 20 live and exotic plants, she began to regret taking the job. Marta looked over the notes that were left for her on the potting table and rubbed her forehead. She had to read the first page three times before she understood how to feed the orchids.
Which piece of textual evidence supports the inference that Mrs. Brown's directions for Marta were complicated?

In 1912, Wilbur Scoville developed a scale for measuring the spiciness of peppers. The Scoville scale is still referenced today on many brands of hot sauce so that consumers will understand how much "heat" to expect from the product. This scale provides important information for those people who don't enjoy intensely spicy things. For example, a habanero chili is about 40 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper!
