It is produced from the decomposition of animal excreta and plant waste. 2. **Analyzing Option (i)**: - Statement: "Manure contains large quantities of organic matter and small quantities of nutrients." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Manure is indeed rich in organic matter and contains nutrients in smaller amounts. 3. **Analyzing Option (ii)**: - Statement: "It increases the water holding capacity of sandy soil." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also correct. The organic matter in manure helps improve the water retention capacity of sandy soil. 4. **Analyzing Option (iii)**: - Statement: "It helps in draining out of excess of water from clayey soil." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Manure does not help in draining excess water; instead, it retains moisture in the soil. 5. **Analyzing Option (iv)**: - Statement: "Its excessive use pollutes the environment because it is made of animal excretory waste." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. Manure is biodegradable and does not pollute the environment when used appropriately. ### Conclusion: The correct sentences about manure are: - (i) Manure contains large quantities of organic matter and small quantities of nutrients. - (ii) It increases the water holding capacity of sandy soil. Thus, the correct options are (i) and (ii). ---
