Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes drawing a conclusion. 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:

The part where Brenda concludes that light did not have a major effect on the total amount of mold growth and hypothesizes about temperature affecting mold growth is the conclusion - drawing part of her scientific inquiry.

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. She thought that temperature might affect mold growth and that less mold would grow on bread stored in cold conditions.
