The past perfect tense "had planned" is used to show that the planning occurred before the reporting. Overall, this answer accurately and grammatically reports the original sentence.

Louisa can't be a good architect because she is not creative.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The statement suggests that creativity is a necessary quality for being a good architect. However, this is not necessarily true. While creativity can be beneficial in architecture, it is not the sole determinant of one's ability to be a good architect. Other important skills, such as technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail, also play a significant role in architectural success.

Therefore, the statement "Tim is disorganized and hardworking" can be considered true.

Plants
Plants are extraordinary living things. Although they seem simple, they are actually, in some ways, more complicated than us.
For instance, a whole new plant can be grown from just a single leaf. No animal can accomplish that! The way that plants distribute their seeds is amazing too. Plants can shoot seeds from their pods, send them flying on the wind, or grow spines that attach seeds to animals’ fur, spreading new generations everywhere.
Plants are also amazingly adaptable, finding ways to grow even in impossible environments, both hot and cold. Plants manufacture their own food from sunlight, absorb nutrients from the ground, and fool insects into spreading their pollen. Truly, they are some of nature’s finest creations.
Plants are ____, because they can grow in any environment.
Correct Answer
A. Adaptable
Explanation
Plants are adaptable because they are able to grow in any environment. They have the ability to find ways to survive and thrive in various conditions, whether it be hot or cold, dry or wet. They can adjust their growth patterns, root systems, and other physiological processes to adapt to their surroundings. This adaptability allows plants to colonize different habitats and ensure the continuation of their species.
24.
A single leaf can ____
Correct Answer
B. Grow into a whole new plant
Explanation
A single leaf has the potential to grow into a whole new plant through a process called vegetative propagation. In certain plant species, such as succulents and some herbs, a leaf can develop roots and eventually form an entire plant. This is possible because the leaf contains specialized cells that have the ability to regenerate and differentiate into various plant tissues. Through this process, a single leaf can give rise to a new plant with identical genetic characteristics to the parent plant.
25.
Although plants seem simple, they are really _____
Correct Answer
A. Complicated
Explanation
Plants may appear simple on the surface, but in reality, they are complex organisms. They have intricate systems for absorbing nutrients, transporting water and sugars, and reproducing. They also have specialized structures such as roots, stems, and leaves that perform specific functions. Additionally, plants have evolved various mechanisms to adapt to their environment, including strategies for survival, defense, and growth. Therefore, the correct answer is "Complicated."
26.
Plants can spread their seeds by______
Correct Answer
C. Attaching them to animal’s fur
Explanation
Plants can spread their seeds by attaching them to animal's fur. This method allows the seeds to hitch a ride on the animals and be transported to new locations. As the animals move around, the seeds may fall off or get caught in different environments, increasing the chances of successful germination and growth for the plants. This strategy is particularly useful for plants that are not easily dispersed by wind or water.
