When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.
Explanation:
To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.
In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.
According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

B - Many Agricultural practices bear some pretty bad impacts on the environment. A, C and D are incorrect.
Answer b is the best example
Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________
V = d / t = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .
Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]: 45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
"45 m/min."
________________________________________________________
Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.
So, we need to convert:
45 mi. to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________
1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________
So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_ m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
____________________________________________________
and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)] / [(3)*(3.2)] m = (5280 / 9.6) m = 550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have: 550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.
However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________
So, we convert: 550 m / min to: "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) = (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
= 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
which is: None of the above.
______________________________________________________
Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.
