Passage Summary: The Johnsons are trying to decide between growing peaches or apricots. Peaches are cheaper to start with and produce fruit faster, and since both sell well, the argument says peaches are the winner.

Conclusion: Planting peach trees is a more sensible choice for the Johnsons than planting apricot trees.

Reasoning: While both fruits are equally popular in the area, peach trees are cheaper to buy and plant, and they produce fruit at an earlier age than apricot trees.

Analysis: The argument focuses entirely on the initial costs and the speed of the first harvest. To weaken this, look for an answer that introduces a long-term disadvantage for peaches or a significant long-term benefit for apricots. For example, if apricot trees live twice as long or produce ten times as much fruit over their lifespan, the initial savings on peach trees would be irrelevant. The tutor's advice: find a hidden cost that makes the 'cheaper' option more expensive in the long run.
