Question

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

Leigh Torres is a marine ecologist.
She conducted a study of blue whales in New Zealand’s South Taranaki Bight region.
She wanted to know how ocean temperature affects where the whales forage for krill in that region.
She found that during a marine heat wave, the whales foraged farther offshore than they had during cooler periods.
The offshore waters, which were colder than areas closer to shore, had a higher relative abundance of krill.

The student wants to emphasize the aim of the research study. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence emphasizes the aim, or goal, of the research study, noting that Torres sought to determine how ocean temperature affects where blue whales forage for krill. Choice A is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the results of the study, noting what Torres found at the end; it doesn&rsquo;t emphasize the aim, or goal, of the study, which is what Torres sought at the beginning. Choice C is incorrect. The sentence makes a claim about the study&rsquo;s results; it doesn&rsquo;t emphasize the aim, or goal, of the study. Choice D is incorrect. The sentence indies the loion of Torres&rsquo;s study; it doesn&rsquo;t emphasize the aim, or goal, of the study.
