Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes drawing a conclusion. hint: to draw a conclusion, you decide if the data support your hypothesis. moldy bread brenda bakes bread for a bakery. she stores her bread in clear bins in the back of the bakery, but she sometimes finds mold growing on the bread. she wanted to know if exposure to light affects mold growth. she predicted that less mold would grow on her bread if she stored it in dark bins. for two weeks, brenda stored half of her bread in dark bins and the other half in clear bins. she found that the same amount of mold grew on bread in both types of bins. she also noticed that bread in bins stored closer to the oven had the most mold. based on her experiment, brenda determined that light did not have a major effect on the total amount of mold that grew on her bread. she thought that temperature might affect mold growth and that less mold would grow on bread stored in cold conditions.

Explanation:

Brenda analyzed her experiment results where she compared mold - growth in dark and clear bins. Based on the equal mold growth in both types of bins, she made a determination about the effect of light on mold growth. This is drawing a conclusion.

Answer:

Based on her experiment, Brenda determined that light did not have a major effect on the total amount of mold that grew on her bread.
