Rice and celery must have a good deal of moisture in order to grow well, but rye and cotton grow best where it is relatively dry. Rice and cotton grow where it is hot, and celery and rye where it is cool. In Malabo, it is very hot and damp. Therefore,... the temperature and moisture conditions in Malabo are more favorable for growing rice than for growing celery, cotton, or rye. Conclusion follows Conclusion does not follow

Answer 1

Answer:

The conclusion does not follow the statement as it does not satisfy the conditions mentioned in the statement.

Explanation:

• From the description given of the moisture and temperature conditions of Malabo, it can be concluded that the weather in Malabo is humid.
• For the crop of rice to thrive, it is important that the weather is humid. But for the growth of celery, cotton, and rye, humid weather is not considered to be good. Hence, we can say that the weather in Malabo is favorable for the growth of rice only.
