Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Clayey-loamy soil tends to be excellent at retaining water which is critical for proper growth of wheat thus this kind of soil is preferred.

2) Alex is showing honesty as he informing the villagers about the actual truth and reality (he is not basing his answers on judgements rather he is basing it on scientific knowledge and being honest about it)
