(A) There is a considerable degree of variation in shade of color between weeds of different species.
(8) The shade of color of some plants tends to change appreciably over the course of their growing season.
(e) When crops are weeded manually, overall size and leaf shape are taken into account in distinguishing crop
plants from weeds.
(0) Selection and genetic manipulation allow plants of virtually any species to be economically bred to have a
distinctive shade of color without altering their other characteristics.
(E) Farm laborers who are responsible for the manual weeding of crops carry out other agricultural duties at
times in the growing season when extensive weeding is not necessary.

AA：：The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store.
“Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.”












提供观点：
1、衣帽部利润↓和家具部利润↑同时发生但不一定有必然联系
2、三个月的时间太短不能用来得出结论
3、过去的趋势不一定能保证未来走向
4、样本不具有代表性
1、A period of three month is too short to draw a general conclusion of the overall trend.
2、The past three months' trend does not guarantee the same in the future.
3、Whether the reports from the local clothing stores and stores that sell products for the home are reliable or not are still open to doubt, thus making the author's suggestion groundless.

AA：
1.the fact that local clothing store profits decreased for 3 months is not sufficient to say that its profits will continue decrease in the following month---> there may some other reasons for the low profits recently.
2.stores sales more home products than the cloth does not mean people prefer to by home products-->may be because the home products have more deal.
3.reduce the size of the clothing department and enlarge the size of the home products department may not a wise decision--> there may some more additional cost.
