Passage Summary: We are replacing outdated gardening maps based on sparse, old data with new maps built from massive amounts of modern data and real-world feedback, so the new ones will be better.

Conclusion: The new garden maps will be significantly more useful than the old ones.

Reasoning: The new maps utilize modern computerized data from thousands of stations and direct gardener input, whereas the old maps relied on 60-year-old data from only a few hundred primitive stations.

Analysis: This is a 'Strengthen EXCEPT' question, so four choices will bolster the claim that the new maps are better, and one will not. To strengthen the conclusion, a choice might highlight that weather patterns have changed in the last 60 years, making the old data irrelevant, or that gardener input provides specific local details that weather stations miss. The 'EXCEPT' answer will likely be a statement that is irrelevant to the utility of the maps or perhaps even suggests a flaw in the new data collection method. Don't be surprised if the correct answer is simply a neutral fact that doesn't help the argument at all.
