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
Solution
The choice that most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to emphasize the study’s significance is D: "The study's surprising results demonstrated that rather than migrating in a random fashion, as was previously assumed, hawkmoths exhibit sophisticated flight strategies." This choice directly addresses the previous assumption about insect migration and contrasts it with the new findings from the study, highlighting its significance.

The flight patterns of two different bird species can vary greatly. For example, a hawk will soar high in the sky and swoop down to catch its prey __________ a sparrow usually stays close to the ground and flits from tree branch to branch. Hawks have large wings with long feathers that allow them to glide through the air more easily than sparrows which have shorter, rounder wings that help them maneuver quickly between obstacles. The differences in their physical features contribute significantly to how they navigate their environment while flying.
Studies on the relationship between color and aerodynamic efficiency have found that dark coloring on the wings of most animals improve flight by increasing solar absorption and reducing drag. Andrew Davis and his colleagues recently conducted a similar study on monarch butterflies to see if the white spots framing their wings have any impact on their migration. After studying the wings of nearly 400 monarch butterflies, they concluded that butterflies that migrated successfully had more white pigment in their wings than other butterflies. These findings suggest that -------Which choice most logically completes the text?white pigment is more effective than black pigment for aerodynamic efficiency.eliminatecolor pigment may not have as much of an impact on aerodynamic efficiency as previously assumed.eliminateduring the migration of monarch butterflies, aerodynamic efficiency might not be the most important factor for survival. eliminatedanimals with more dark pigment in their wings do not migrate.eliminated
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.

Have you ever watched a hummingbird sipping from a flower? These amazing little creatures are the only birds that can fly in every direction. They can also hover in one spot, much like a helicopter. Their wings can flap up to 80 times per second! Hummingbirds are so tiny you may think that they are large insects as they flap through the air. Some scientists believe that hummingbirds are a bridge between the insect and bird worlds. They have observed that hummingbirds flap their wings more like insects than birds. But don't think, just because they are tiny, that hummingbirds are weak. Hummingbird fossils from tens of millions of years ago have been discovered. Somehow these amazing thumb-sized marvels have survived a long, long time.From the text above, what can you conclude about Hummingbird.
