a waxy potato has a higher moisture content and lower starch content than other potatoes.
∘ true
∘ false

Explanation:

Waxy potatoes (like red potatoes or new potatoes) have a higher moisture content and lower starch content compared to starchy potatoes (like russet potatoes). Starchy potatoes have more starch and less moisture, which makes them better for mashing, while waxy potatoes hold their shape well in dishes like salads or stews due to their lower starch and higher moisture. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False (the option corresponding to "False" in the given choices, assuming the "False" option is labeled appropriately; if the options are "True" and "False" with "False" being the second option, then the answer is the option for False, e.g., if the options are:

• True
• False

Then the answer is: False (the second option, depending on how it's labeled, but based on the content, the correct choice is the one for "False")
