Question

read the passage. pineapples can be eaten fresh, grilled, or even baked on pizza. while these sweet, juicy fruits are easy to enjoy, they are not always easy to grow. pineapples come from short, spiky plants that need lots of sunshine. unlike many fruit plants, pineapple plants make only one fruit at a time. this means that farmers who want to grow lots of pineapples need to have lots of plants. growing pineapples takes a lot of time, too. it can take almost two years for a pineapple plant to make a single fruit. though pineapples may not grow quickly, they are often worth the wait. based on the passage, why do pineapple farmers need a large number of plants? each of the plants will grow only one pineapple. most of the plants will not grow any pineapples. a few of the plants will grow sour pineapples. some of the plants will grow pineapples too quickly.

Explanation:

The passage states that unlike many fruit plants, pineapple plants make only one fruit at a time. So to grow lots of pineapples, farmers need lots of plants.

Answer:

Each of the plants will grow only one pineapple.
