Direction: Answer the following questions on the basis of the information below.
Zinnia has a small container garden on her balcony. Each spring, she only has room to plant three vegetables. Because five vegetables are her favorites, she has worked out a schedule to plant each at least once every two years. The vegetables are: beans, cabbage, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes.
- Tomatoes are her favorites and she plants them every year.
- Each year, she plants only one vegetable that begins with the letter “C.”
- She never plants carrots and peppers in the same year.
- She will plant cabbage in the second year.
-
In what order does she plant the vegetables in the next two years?
-
- first year: tomatoes, carrots, cabbage second year: tomatoes, peppers, beans
- first year: tomatoes, peppers, beans second year: cabbage, carrots, tomatoes
- first year: tomatoes, carrots, peppers second year: tomatoes, cabbage, beans
- first year: tomatoes, carrots, beans second year: tomatoes, cabbage, peppers
- first year: tomatoes, cabbage, peppers second year: carrots, cabbage, beans
Correct Option: D
As per the above given all information in passage , we can say
Zinnia plants tomatoes each year, so choice E is incorrect. Each year, she plants either carrots or cabbage, but not both. She will plant cabbage in the second year, so she will plant carrots in the first. She never plants carrots and peppers together, so the first year is tomatoes, carrots, beans and the second is tomatoes, cabbage, peppers.
