Question

luther burbank was a pioneer in agricultural science. during his career, he developed more than eight hundred varieties and strains of plants. one of his first concerns was to come up with a potato that was resistant to disease. the result was the russet burbank potato, one of his most famous creations. another burbank creation was the sans noyau. this special plum, unlike typical varieties, had no pit and was therefore easier to eat. burbank was also responsible for the paradox walnut tree, which could grow up to sixty feet in fifteen years. this was a big improvement on other walnut trees, which can take twice as long to grow.
match the problems with their solutions.
problem
burbank wanted a disease - resistant potato.
regular plums have pits.
regular walnut trees take a long time to grow.
solution
the paradox was developed.
the sans noyau was developed.
the russet burbank was developed.

Explanation:

To solve the matching:

1. For "Burbank wanted a disease - resistant potato", the solution is "The Russet Burbank was developed" (as the text says the Russet Burbank potato was resistant to disease).
2. For "Regular plums have pits", the solution is "The Sans Noyau was developed" (since the Sans Noyau plum had no pit).
3. For "Regular walnut trees take a long time to grow", the solution is "The Paradox was developed" (as the Paradox walnut tree could grow faster, improving on other walnut trees' long growth time).

Answer:

• Problem: Burbank wanted a disease - resistant potato; Solution: The Russet Burbank was developed.
• Problem: Regular plums have pits; Solution: The Sans Noyau was developed.
• Problem: Regular walnut trees take a long time to grow; Solution: The Paradox was developed.
