Question 1 Report
| Entry | Type |
|---|---|
| weeds killed without harming the crop | benefit |
| gene may spread to nearby weeds | concern |
The table shows entries about a herbicide-resistant genetically modified crop. Which entry is a benefit to the farmer?
A benefit to the farmer is something that helps their crop or harvest. The table's benefit entry is that weeds can be killed without harming the crop: a herbicide-resistant crop lets the field be sprayed so the weeds die while the crop survives. The entry that the gene may spread to nearby weeds is listed as a concern, not a benefit, and a poisoned soil or fewer crops would be harms, not advantages.
