Which sentence from the passage best supports the inference that agrobiodiversity will increase to accommodate for changing conditions?Agrobiodiversityadapted from United States Botanic GardenWhat is agrobiodiversity?     Agrobiodiversity refers to agriculture and biodiversity. Agrobiodiversity includes all the different kinds of plants and animals that people raise for food. It also includes living things in the soil that break down and recycle soil nutrients, as well as bees and other insects that pollinate crops.How people create agrobiodiversity    Over the past 10,000 years, people have created countless varieties of crops and livestock breeds. Each growing season, farmers saved seeds or took cuttings from the plants that grew well in local soils and weather conditions, or that were best able to resist diseases and insect pests. Over time, they developed varieties that produced food under varying environmental conditions. Farmers also alter soils and other parts of the landscape, and this in turn affects biodiversity. The knowledge traditional farmers have about crop varieties is astonishing. In India, for example, people grow, harvest, and cook over 100 varieties of rice!The history of agrobiodiversity     When people first moved to different parts of the world, they took their seeds and farm animals with them. Farmers bred new varieties of crops and livestock that suited the new growing conditions. As people selected crop plants and livestock for different traits, they created new varieties. Consider wild cabbage for example, which is the ancestor of many different food plants. People bred wild cabbage for different plant parts, such as brussels sprouts, which come from lateral buds on wild cabbage; or collards, from wild cabbage leaves; cauliflower, which comes from the flowers of wild cabbage; as well as many others, including broccoli and kohlrabi, which come from wild cabbage stems.     Genes, together with the environment, determine the traits of all living things. Add human ingenuity and experimentation, and you get the diversity of vegetables, fruits, grains, and meats we eat today!

The following sentences are jumbled. Please re-arrange them in the right order. 1. If we harness the process, we could naturally modify crops and make them more resistant to the effects of climate change. 2. A recent study shows that lateral gene transfer is widespread in grasses, including many food crops. 3. While we do not fully know how genes move between species, we could benefit from mimicking the transfer between species. 4. The research shows that genes can freely move between grass species regardless of how closely related they are.3,1,4,23,2,4,12,4,3,12,1,3,4

Five sentences related to a topic are given in the question below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out. Choose its number as your answer and key it in.But he has also accelerated the transference of phosphorus from plant and animal life to the sea, thus speeding up its cyclical migration in a two-fold manner.With the development of agriculture in historic times, however, the phosphorus cycle has been seriously upset, for systematic cropping reduces the reserves in the soil more quickly than they can be renewed from fresh sources.For some time after the earth's formation, the phosphorus cycle in the sea was simple, phosphate ions built up into the earliest forms of organic life and released again at their death.Furthermore, the emergence of life from the sea and the colonization of dry land led to a soil-plant-animal-soil cycle, from which phosphorus was removed in negligible quantities in the formation of bone beds, fossil fish or guano deposits.In the past few centuries man has attempted to restore the phosphorus balance by the use of fertilizers, derived largely from natural deposits.
