Question

compare the details that were included in both texts.
companion planting does not necessarily require
the use of chemical fertilizers.
green fertilizers improve soil quality using natural
ingredients.
fertilizers are used to support plant growth.
some fertilizers contain harsh chemicals.
which statement would both authors likely agree with?
companion planting is the only alternative to traditional fertilizers.
people should avoid using harsh chemicals in farming.
the label \organic\ means the fertilizer contains only safe chemicals.

Explanation:

Looking at the table, both texts mention that some fertilizers contain harsh chemicals. This implies a negative view on harsh chemicals in fertilizers. The first option about companion planting being the only alternative is not supported as Text 1 has green fertilizers (another alternative). The third option about "organic" meaning only safe chemicals is not addressed in the given table details. But the idea that people should avoid harsh chemicals (since both texts note their presence in some fertilizers) aligns with the common detail.

Answer:

People should avoid using harsh chemicals in farming.
