The answer is 2. (B.). Explanation: Dormant plants are plants that are able to endure and survive in such harsh conditions. Looking at the definition of “Hardy” it is indeed the correct answer.
Also If you wanted, you could use process of elimination to answer this question. 1. It is in need of food. While this may be half true, it isn’t fully correct because most dormant plants have waxy covered leaves, or some storage function to save water. That allows them to survive.
2. It is hardy. This is true because dormant plants are very strong plants for being able to survive in such harsh conditions. That being said this answer is most likely correct.
3. It is inactive. Dormant plants are kind of like hibernating bears because they store and collect to survive but there is one difference and it’s that bears go to sleep and are inactive while these plants remain active.
4. It is fast growing. This is kind of hard to answer but there is one thing that makes this answer not correct and it’s that this doesn’t correlate to the original question. What does a dormant plant have to do with fast growing?
Looking at all these answer choices, we have managed to find the (hopefully/most likely) correct answer. I hope this helped you! :)
