Davison River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable.

A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye

C,D,E are irrelevant.
B is not the logical continuation of the stem.
Therefore, it is IMO A.

A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices
B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested
C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region
D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat
E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye
please explain answers A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices If size of the winter harvest would not be compensated by the winter wheat prices, then farmers would incur losses. Hence the answer. B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested The choice is not explaining why planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting winter wheat. Hence the choice is incorrect. C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region -out of scope D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat -out of scope E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye -out of scope

Hi neeshpal, A is the correct answer choice as it is one which justifies the reason why spring wheat will be profitable.

A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested --- irrelavant C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region -- no clue about this is given the question. D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat --- nor specified in the question about uses E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye --- irrelavant + 1 kudos if U like this post
