classrooms. My mom recruited me to help her plant sweet potatoes in our garden this year. We used to grow regular white potatoes. However, my mom read a
Reader's Digest article two months ago about how sweet potatoes cause a person's blood sugar to rise 30 percent less than white potatoes do. Ever since, she has wanted to plant sweet potatoes instead this year. Plus, sweet potatoes are packed with lots
of Vitamin A and Vitamin C—another reason for my mom wanting to make the switch. I decided to do some research about sweet potatoes and was impressed with what I found. They can help your skin look more clear and smooth. It's also good for people with high blood pressure like my grandpa. I also learned that a sweet potato bruises easily and that the bruise can spread quickly on the potato. We should not store the sweet potatoes in the refrigerator. This causes them to go bad more quickly. The more I learn about sweet potatoes, the more excited I get
about growing and eating them 31. Which sentence from the passage could be used to support the idea that sweet potatoes are healthy

According to research, exposure to a certain type of bacteria called
mycobacterium vaccae which is found in soil can help increase serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is a chemical found in the brain. It can boost a person's mood and decrease anxiety. This same chemical can help people better process information in their brains. Just by being outside, our bodies can breathe in this bacteria. Research has shown that this bacteria appeared to boost the mood in laboratory mice.
Additionally, the mice that were given this bacteria in their diet were able to move through amaze twice as quickly as mice that were not given this bacteria. These same mice also behaved less anxiously than the other mice.
