Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This line of research suggests that like orchids, some children are more sensitive to their environments and are more likely to thrive in nurturing and supportive contexts. Dandelions, on the other hand, are more hardy and can grow in a wide range of conditions, just as some children are relatively resilient to stress and can adapt to different types of environments. Therefore, option A is the best choice as it captures the essence of this research, contrasting the sensitivity to context between these two types of plants and also children.
