The student wants to emphasise the order of the steps in transplanting a seedling. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Question

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- To transplant a seedling, first water it well.
- Then dig a hole in the new position.
- Lift the seedling with its roots intact and set it in the hole at the same depth it grew before.
- Firm the soil around it.
- Finally, water it again.

Accepted Answer

A. First water the seedling, then dig the hole, lift the seedling with its roots intact and set it at the same depth, firm the soil around it, and finally water it again.. All the steps, in order, with 'first', 'then' and 'finally' — choice A.

Answer

B. Seedlings should be transplanted carefully. — No steps at all.

Answer

C. Water the seedling after firming the soil. — One step in isolation, without the order of the rest.

Answer

D. Dig the hole after setting the seedling in place. — This reverses the order in the notes.
