Question 2:
The answer is the third one: 40%40 \% solids, 35%35 \% air, and 25%25 \% water.
Explanation:

  • 50%50 \% air, 25%25 \% solids, and 25%25 \% water: This option has too much air and not enough solids, which could lead to poor support for plant roots.
  • 50%50 \% solids, 25%25 \% air, and 25%25 \% water: This option has a higher percentage of solids, which might not provide enough air for root respiration.
  • 40%40 \% solids, 35%35 \% air, and 25%25 \% water: This option provides a balanced mix of solids, air, and water, which is generally favorable for plant growth as it allows for good root support, aeration, and moisture.
  • 34%34 \% solids, 33%33 \% air, and 34%34 \% water: This option has a higher water content, which could lead to waterlogging and reduced air space.

Question 3:
The answer is the fourth one: Soil on the floor of a restaurant.
Explanation:

  • Soil in a farm field: This is considered soil, not dirt, as it is in its natural and intended environment for plant growth.
  • Soil in a dump truck: This is still considered soil, as it is being transported for use elsewhere.
  • Soil sold in a bag for a child's sandbox: This is packaged soil intended for a specific use, not dirt.
  • Soil on the floor of a restaurant: This is considered dirt because it is out of place and not in its intended environment, making it undesirable.
