Answer guide · AC9S1H01
- Place washing where air can move around it, then check whether it dries.
- The soil might still be wet, for example after rain or recent watering.
- Accept a clear connection, such as noticing dark clouds and checking the forecast before hanging washing outside.
- Observe and record the result, then use it to improve the next prediction.
If help is needed: A pattern supports a prediction; it does not guarantee that every future event will be identical.
