Pembahasan:

Soal tersebut menanyakan hubungan antara paragraf 2 dan paragraf 1.

Paragraf 1 menyampaikan tentang kebutuhan pangan dunia tahun 2050 yang kemungkinan tidak dapat dipenuhi oleh sistem pertanian biasa. Beruntung NASA telah mengembangkan metode pertanian lain yang tidak sanggup dipenuhi oleh pertanian konvensional seperti meminimalisir penggunaan air.

Paragraf 2 menjelaskan lebih jauh mengenai metode pertanian tersebut, yang dinamakan vertical farm.

Dengan demikian, kaitan antara paragraf 1 dan paragraf 2 adalah paragraf kedua memperluas pembahasan paragraf pertama tentang metode pertanian NASA sehingga pilihan C tepat.

The questions number 3 - 4 are based on the following passage

A team led by UC Riverside geologists has discovered the first ancestor on the family tree that contains most familiar animals today, including humans. The tiny, wormlike creature, named Ikaria wariootia, is the earliest bilaterian, or organism with a front and back, two symmetrical sides, and openings at either end connected by a gut. The paper is published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

For 15 years, scientists agreed that fossilized burrows found in 555 million-year-old Ediacaran Period deposits in Nilpena, South Australia, were made by bilaterians. However, there was no sign of the creature that made the burrows, leaving scientists with nothing but speculation. Then, Scott Evans, a recent doctoral graduate from UC Riverside; and Mary Droser, a professor of geology, noticed miniscule, oval impressions near some of these burrows. With funding from a NASA exobiology grant, they used a three-dimensional laser scanner that revealed the regular, consistent shape of a cylindrical body with a distinct head and tail and faintly grooved musculature. The animal ranged between 2-7 millimeters long and about 1-2.5 millimeters wide, with the largest the size and shape of a grain of rice -- just the right size to have made the burrows.

"We thought these animals should have existed during this interval, but always understood they would be difficult to recognize," Evans said. "Once we had the 3D scans, we knew that we had made an important discovery."
