Question

luther burbank was a pioneer in agricultural science. during his career, he developed more than eight hundred varieties and strains of plants. one of his first concerns was to come up with a potato that was resistant to disease. the result was the russet burbank potato, one of his most famous creations. another burbank creation was the sans noyau plum, unlike typical varieties, had no pit and was therefore easier to eat. burbank was also responsible for the paradox walnut tree, which could grow up to sixty feet in fifteen years. this was a big improvement on other walnut trees, which can take twice as long to grow.
match the problems with their solutions.
the paradox was developed.
the russet burbank was developed.
the sans noyau was developed.
problem
burbank wanted a disease - resistant potato.
regular plums have pits.
regular walnut trees take a long time to grow.
solution

Explanation:

Match each problem to the corresponding solution described in the text:

1. The problem of needing a disease-resistant potato corresponds to the development of the Russet Burbank.
2. The problem of regular plums having pits corresponds to the development of the Sans Noyau (a pitless plum).
3. The problem of regular walnut trees taking a long time to grow corresponds to the development of the Paradox (a faster-growing walnut tree).

Answer:

• Burbank wanted a disease-resistant potato. → The Russet Burbank was developed.
• Regular plums have pits. → The Sans Noyau was developed.
• Regular walnut trees take a long time to grow. → The Paradox was developed.
