Growing potatoes can be enjoyable and easy—even for the most novice gardener. first, purchase a couple of yukon gold potatoes from the grocery store. leave them out on your counter for a few days so that the "eyes" of the potatoes begin to form sprouts. the sprouts will grow outward more than one inch and may curl. then, cut each potato into two– to three–inch segments so that each wedge of potato has one or two eyes. next, let these segments sit out for two or three days so that a film or skin forms on the exposed part of the potato. after a few more days, plant the potato portions in an area that will get plentiful sunlight. since potatoes are crops, be sure to water the soil at least once a day. if you can follow these few simple steps, you should have sprouting potatoes in just a few weeks. revise the underlined sentence by selecting a sentence that best uses an analogy to explain the topic. a sprouts will grow very long and outward from the core of the potato. b keep the potatoes exposed until the sprouts start to look like the green, twisted tentacles of an octopus. c the sprouts stemming from the eyes will begin to appear like rays of sunshine from the potato. d the potatoes should remain on the counter until the sprouts coming from the eyes beg to be cut and planted
