Which finding from Medina and her colleagues’ study, if true, would most directly challenge the assumption in the underlined sentence?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which finding from the study by Medina and her colleagues would contradict the assumption that species which build domed nests have larger geographic ranges than those that build open nests. This involves evaluating multiple-choice options in relation to the given assumption.
Answer
D) Species that build open nests tend to have larger ranges than species that build domed nests.
The final answer is D) Species that build open nests tend to have larger ranges than species that build domed nests.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D) Species that build open nests tend to have larger ranges than species that build domed nests.
More Information
The assumption that domed nests lead to larger geographic ranges is directly challenged by the finding that open nests result in even larger ranges.
Tips
A common mistake is misinterpreting the assumption. Ensure to identify what the original claim suggests before evaluating the findings.
