While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Species belonging to the Orchidaceae (orchid) family can be found in both tropical and temperate environments.
- Orchidaceae species diversity has not been well studied in temperate forests, such as those in Oaxaca, Mexico.
- Arelee Estefanía Muñoz-Hernández led a study to determine how many different Orchidaceae species are present in the forests of Oaxaca.
- Muñoz-Hernández and her team collected orchids each month for a year at a site in Oaxaca.
- Seventy-four Orchidaceae species were present at the site.
The student wants to present the study and its findings. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Explanation
Choice A is the best answer. This choice most effectively presents the study and its findings. It opens with the study and names its lead researcher, then tells us its finding: that they identified 74 Orchidaceae species in the temperate forests of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Choice B is incorrect. This choice doesn’t include the study’s findings, so it fails to achieve the goal. It doesn’t mention that there was a study at all. Choice C is incorrect. This choice doesn’t present the study, so it fails to achieve the goal. It doesn’t mention that there was a study at all. Choice D is incorrect. This choice doesn’t include the study’s findings, so it fails to achieve the goal.
