Scenario: A community garden organizer noticed that plots tended to be better maintained and more productive when neighbours knew each other well compared to when plots were assigned to strangers. This suggests that gardeners are more motivated to care for their plots when they have established relationships with their neighbours.
The organizer’s argument would be most strengthened if it were true that, in the community garden, gardeners tended to maintain their plots better when
A. the garden rules were strictly enforced by the management team than when gardeners were left to self-regulate
B. gardeners received regular workshops on sustainable gardening practices than when no training was provided
C. neighbours had opportunities to socialize and build relationships before plot assignments than when plots were assigned randomly without prior interaction
D. the garden provided high-quality tools and resources than when gardeners had to supply their own equipment
E. gardeners were recognized and rewarded for their efforts more frequently than when no recognition system was in place

The scenario presents an argument that gardeners are more motivated to care for their plots when they have established relationships with their neighbours. To strengthen this argument, we need evidence that directly supports the importance of these relationships in motivating better plot maintenance.
Let’s evaluate each option:
• A. The garden rules were strictly enforced by the management team than when gardeners were left to self-regulate
Analysis: This option focuses on rule enforcement rather than the relationships between gardeners. It does not directly support the argument about the impact of established relationships.
• B. Gardeners received regular workshops on sustainable gardening practices than when no training was provided
Analysis: This option emphasizes training and education, which relates to knowledge and skills rather than interpersonal relationships.
• C. Neighbors had opportunities to socialize and build relationships before plot assignments than when plots were assigned randomly without prior interaction
Analysis: This directly supports the argument by showing that when gardeners have the chance to build relationships before being assigned plots, they are more likely to maintain their plots better. It highlights the importance of established relationships in motivating care and maintenance.
• D. The garden provided high-quality tools and resources than when gardeners had to supply their own equipment
Analysis: This option pertains to the availability of resources, not the relationships between gardeners.
• E. Gardeners were recognized and rewarded for their efforts more frequently than when no recognition system was in place
Analysis: This focuses on external motivation through recognition and rewards, rather than the intrinsic motivation derived from relationships.
Conclusion:
Option C most effectively strengthens the scientist’s argument by directly linking the presence of established relationships with improved plot maintenance.
