    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Hard pruning involves cutting back a plant drastically, often removing a significant portion of its growth. This process stimulates new growth and can help rejuvenate a plant that may be overgrown, damaged, or struggling. By removing old or diseased branches, hard pruning allows the plant to redirect its energy towards new growth and promotes overall health and vitality. Therefore, the statement that hard pruning aims to rejuvenate a plant is true.

    • Sunburn

    • Hail

    Correct Answer
    A. Sunburn
    Explanation
    Shade cloth is the best way of protecting plants from severe affects of sunburn. Sunburn occurs when plants are exposed to excessive sunlight and heat, leading to damage and wilting. Shade cloth provides a barrier between the plants and the intense sunlight, reducing the risk of sunburn. It filters the sunlight, allowing the plants to receive the necessary amount of light while shielding them from the harmful UV rays. By using shade cloth, plants can thrive and remain healthy even in hot and sunny conditions.
