Xander’s family just got a new refrigerator. Once it is installed, he and his little brother open it, staring in awe at the clean, empty shelves. Xander’s brother points to two drawers, one marked ‘fruits’ and the other marked ‘vegetables.’ He asks Xander why there are two small drawers instead of one big drawer. Which is the BEST way for Xander to explain this?


Some fruits or veggies can’t be put together or they go bad faster.


This helps us to see which ones we can snack on and which we’ll cook.


This keeps them further from the freezer, so they don’t get too cold.


Smaller drawers are less likely to get stuck than just one big one.
