Mr. Smith thinks that a special juice will increase the
productivity of his workers. He creates two groups of 50
workers each and assigns each group the same task (in
this case, they’re supposed to staple a set of papers).
Group A is given the special juice to drink while they
work. Group B is given ordinary juice. After an hour,
Mr. Smith counts how many stacks of papers each group
has made. Group A made 450 stacks and Group B made
455 stacks. Group A is the
control group

week. After 3 months, all of the plants were
dead. Which of the following best explains
why her experiment was flawed?
A. Larissa did not include a control group in her
experiment
B. Larissa did not water the plants every day
C. Larissa should not have given the plants water
D. Larissa did not use enough plants in the experiment
