PASSAGE
(1) Xeriscaping is a landscaping philosophy based on water conservation. (2) The term, derived from the Greek word xeros for "dry," was coined in the 1980s by a special task force in Denver, Colorado. (3) The core idea is to create beautiful, sustainable gardens that require little to no supplemental irrigation.
(4) This is achieved by carefully selecting native and drought-tolerant plants that are well-suited to the local climate. (5) It also involves practices like using mulch to retain soil moisture and designing efficient irrigation systems, like drip lines, for use only when absolutely necessary. (6) The result is a landscape that is both environmentally friendly and low-maintenance.
Which sentence should be added before sentence 4 to introduce the ideas in the second paragraph (sentences 4-6)?
