While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Coffee plants come in two main commercial species: Arabica and Robusta.</li> <li>Arabica grows at higher elevations and has lower caffeine content.</li> <li>Robusta tolerates lower elevations and has nearly twice the caffeine.</li> <li>Arabica is generally considered more aromatic.</li> <li>Robusta is more disease-resistant than Arabica.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast the growing conditions of the two species. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- Acheck_circle
Arabica grows at higher elevations, whereas Robusta tolerates lower elevations and is more disease-resistant.
- B
Robusta has nearly twice the caffeine of Arabica.
- C
Both Arabica and Robusta are commercial coffee species.
- D
Arabica is more aromatic, while Robusta has more caffeine.
Explanation
The goal is contrasting growing conditions. Choice C contrasts elevation and disease resistance, both growing-condition factors. A contrasts flavor and chemistry, B states similarity, D contrasts caffeine.
