Reasoning that justifies your evidence

My family has a computer at home.

Some plants grow taller than others.

According to the data, a plant grown in a 5 cm pot only grew to be 4 cm tall, where as a plant in a 10cm pot grow to be 8 cm tall.

We observed 10 plants total.

According to the study, students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower on their exams.

The article said so, plus I agree.

Students reported feeling more sluggish over all, making it hard to focus and do well on their exams.

According the the article, the kids were sleepy. When I am sleepy, I also do poorly on my assignments.

All of the answers are correct

When plants are placed in a bigger pot, the roots have more room to spread out, making it more optimal for a plant to grow taller.

Sometimes, plants just enjoy being in a bigger pot.

No one really knows why, it just happened.
