Question: The aloe plant can absorb a lot of water during a rain shower. The extra water is stored in its leaves. The ability to store water in its leaves is most likely an adaptation to which type of environment?
Answer: one with dry conditions
Hypothesis: storing water is an adaptation to a dry environment
Supporting facts: sent1: as dryness increases in an environment , the available water in that environment will decrease sent2: humidity is a property of weather and include ordered values of dry / humid sent3: the amount of something is similar to the availability of something sent4: dry means low in amount of water sent5: a cactus stores water sent6: survival means to survive sent7: if something absorbs something else then that something will contain that something else sent8: decreasing something negative has a positive impact on a thing sent9: to store means to hold sent10: if water vapor is limited to reach a location , then that location will be dry sent11: a plant requires a specific climate to grow and survive sent12: keeping is similar to storing sent13: adaptation has a positive impact on the population / the survival / the reproduction of a species / of individual organisms sent14: plants control the amount of water in their leaves through transpiration sent15: if an object / something is in the sunlight then that object / that something will absorb solar energy sent16: increasing the availability of something that has a positive impact on a living thing's survivial can have a positive impact on that living thing's survival sent17: storing something is a kind of method for increasing the availability of something sent18: a living things require water for survival sent19: adapting is when a living thing responds to a change in an environment sent20: using a raw material sometimes requires absorbing that raw material sent21: moisture means liquid / liquid water sent22: if a living thing requires something then that something has a positive impact on that living thing sent23: can means having the ability to sent24: conserving water can be used for survival in a dry environment sent25: ability is a property of things and includes ordered values of able / unable / can / cannot
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] a living things require water for survival [AND] if a living thing requires something then that something has a positive impact on that living thing [INFER] int1: water has a positive impact on a living thing's survival [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] increasing the availability of something that has a positive impact on a living thing's survivial can have a positive impact on that living thing's survival [INFER] int2: increasing the availability of water for a living thing has a positive impact on that living thing's survival [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] storing something is a kind of method for increasing the availability of something [INFER] int3: storing water has a positive impact on a living thing's survival by increasing the availability of water [BECAUSE] as dryness increases in an environment , the available water in that environment will decrease [AND] dry means low in amount of water [INFER] int4: a dry environment is low in availability of water [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int4 [INFER] int5: storing water increases the water available to organisms in a dry environment [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] adapting is when a living thing responds to a change in an environment [INFER] int6: storing water is an adaptation to a dry environment
