For a school project, a forestry student needs to recommend a maple tree that is native to South America and won’t grow more than 60 feet in height. Based on the characteristics of five common maple trees, she has decided to select a blank

Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the text?

Accepted Answer

Choice C is the best answer because it most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement about the forestry student&rsquo;s project. The table shows five types of maple trees, each tree&rsquo;s maximum height, and whether each tree is native to South America. The text indies that the student needs to recommend a maple tree that&rsquo;s native to South America and won&rsquo;t reach a height greater than 60 feet. The red maple is the only tree listed in the table that meets these criteria: its maximum height is 60 feet-meaning that it won&rsquo;t grow higher than 60 feet-and it&rsquo;s native to South America. Choice A is incorrect because the text states that the student needs to recommend a tree that&rsquo;s native to South America and won&rsquo;t grow higher than 60 feet, but the table shows that the maximum height of the silver maple is 70 feet. Choice B is incorrect because the text states that the student needs to recommend a tree that&rsquo;s native to South America and won&rsquo;t grow higher than 60 feet, but the table shows that the maximum height of the sugar maple is 75 feet. Choice D is incorrect because the text states that the student needs to recommend a tree that&rsquo;s native to South America and won&rsquo;t grow higher than 60 feet, but the table shows that the Norway maple isn&rsquo;t native to South America.
