Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: QSPR
Explanation:
• Part 1 ends with the plural subject Sustainable agriculture practices, which requires a matching plural verb. Segment Q (help preserve soil) immediately follows to complete the predicate.
• The noun soil naturally connects with segment S (fertility over time) to form the compound noun phrase soil fertility.
• Segment P (while simultaneously increasing) introduces a parallel benefit.
• The transitive participle increasing connects to its direct object in segment R (crop yields for farming), which seamlessly flows into Part 6 (communities globally).
Complete Sentence: Sustainable agriculture practices help preserve soil fertility over time while simultaneously increasing crop yields for farming communities globally.
