It is one of nature‘s great ironies that the availability
of nitrogen in the soil frequently sets an upper limit
on plant growth even though the plants‘ leaves are bathed
in a sea of nitrogen gas. The leguminous plants—among
5 them crop plants such as soybeans, peas, alfalfa, and
clover—have solved the nitrogen supply problem by entering
into a symbiotic relationship with the bacterial genus Rhizobium.


10. Which of the following situations is most closely
analogous to the situation described by the author
as one of nature‘s great ironies?
(A) That of a farmer whose crops have failed
because the normal midseason rains did not
materialize and no preparations for
irrigation had been made
(B) That of a long-distance runner who loses a
marathon race because of a wrong turn that
cost him twenty seconds
(C) That of shipwrecked sailors at sea in a
lifeboat, with one flask of drinking water to
share among them
(D) That of a motorist who runs out of gas a mere
five miles from the nearest gas station
(E) That of travelers who want to reach their
destination as fast and as cheaply as possible,
but find that cost increases as travel speed
increases
