For her science project, Rina had predicted that beans planted in potting soil would sprout first. To her surprise, the first sprouts to appear were planted in her mother’s compost mix.

"I told you, Rina," her mother said. "Never underestimate the power of coffee grounds and orange peels."

Two days later, the beans in potting soil sprouted, but they were never as hearty as the other sprouts. Rina’s inaccurate prediction did not bother her. She was just happy to know how to improve her flower garden in the spring.

Which statement best summarizes this excerpt?

A.When Rina and her mother disagree about how to conduct an experiment, they discuss their options.
B.Although Rina does not make an accurate prediction, she and her mother grow a beautiful garden.
C.Rina’s experiment teaches her that composted soil fosters quick growth of bean plants.
D.Rina’s bean sprouts teach her that bean plants require coffee grounds and orange peels.

Answer 1

C because Rina wasn't troubled by the fact that they weren't as hearty. 

Answer 2

C. Rina’s experiment teaches her that composted soil fosters quick growth of bean plants.

The main idea of the excerpt is Rina's experiment to grow bean plants. And even though, she didn't get the result she expected by planting beans in potting soil, she could learn something from the experiment by comparing her mother's beans in composted soil and reach to the conclusion that composted soil fosters quick growth of bean plants.
