Question
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: Some butterflies migrate following a specific pattern. Monarch butterflies are one species whose migration pattern has changed over time. Monarch butterflies once migrated predominantly between Canada and Mexico. The butterflies now mainly migrate between the United States and Mexico.26Mark for ReviewABCThe student wants to make and support a generalization about the migration patterns of butterflies. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish these goals?AThere are some species of butterfly that migrate; these species' migration patterns may change over time.BMonarch butterflies populate Canada, the United States, and Mexico.CThe Monarch butterfly, which once migrated predominantly between Canada and Mexico, now mainly migrates between the United States and Mexico.DA butterfly's migration pattern may change over time: Monarch butterflies once mainly migrated between Canada and Mexico, but now they mainly migrate between the United States and Mexico.
Solution
To address the student's goal of making and supporting a generalization about the migration patterns of butterflies, we need to choose the option that effectively uses the relevant information from the notes. The generalization should be broad enough to apply to butterflies in general, while also being supported by specific details about Monarch butterflies.
Let's analyze each choice:
A. "There are some species of butterfly that migrate; these species' migration patterns may change over time."
- This option makes a general statement about butterfly migration and mentions that patterns may change over time. It effectively uses the information from the notes to support a generalization.
B. "Monarch butterflies populate Canada, the United States, and Mexico."
- This option provides specific information about the regions where Monarch butterflies are found but does not address migration patterns or changes over time.
C. "The Monarch butterfly, which once migrated predominantly between Canada and Mexico, now mainly migrates between the United States and Mexico."
- This option provides specific information about the migration pattern of Monarch butterflies but does not make a generalization about butterflies in general.
D. "A butterfly's migration pattern may change over time: Monarch butterflies once mainly migrated between Canada and Mexico, but now they mainly migrate between the United States and Mexico."
- This option makes a general statement about butterfly migration patterns changing over time and supports it with specific information about Monarch butterflies.
The most effective choice for making and supporting a generalization about the migration patterns of butterflies is D. It provides a general statement and supports it with relevant details from the notes.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:• Each year, trillions of animals migrate by flying through the air.• Insects, such as mosquitos, butterflies, bees, locusts, and moths, are among the most common migratory animals.• It has been assumed that insects migrate in a random fashion, being heavily impacted by the changing winds.• Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior led a study in which hawkmoths were tagged and monitored as they migrated from Germany to the Alps.• The study’s surprising results demonstrated that the hawkmoths have more sophisticated flight strategies than previously thought.25Mark for ReviewABCThe student wants to emphasize the study’s significance. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?AIt has been assumed that insects migrate in a random fashion, so researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior studied the migratory habits of hawkmoths.BResearchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior tagged and monitored hawkmoths, which, like mosquitos, butterflies, bees, and locusts, are migratory animals.CTrillions of animals migrate through the air each year; recently, one such animal was tagged and monitored.DThe study's surprising results demonstrated that rather than migrating in a random fashion, as was previously assumed, hawkmoths exhibit sophisticated flight strategies
