Show summary

Peter: Because the leaves of mildly drought-stressed plants are tougher in texture than the leaves of abundantly watered plants, insects prefer to feed on the leaves of abundantly watered plants. ██████████ ██ ████████ ████ ███████ ███████ ██████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████ ████ █████ ██ ██ ███████████ ███████ ████ █ ████ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ███ ██████

Summarize Argument

Jennifer agrees with Peter’s claim that farmers should water plants just enough to ensure no substantial threat from lack of water. As evidence, she points out that mildly drought-stressed plants will develop pesticidal toxins, but abundantly watered plants will not.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Jennifer supports the judgment reached by Peter. She does this by presenting independent evidence which supports his conclusion. The fact mildly drought-stressed plants produce pesticidal toxins supports the judgment that farmers should only water crops just enough.
