Narwhals are shy whales that live in the remote Arctic Ocean. Some of them have a long tusk, like a unicorn horn, with sensitive nerves. Narwhals are known for this tusk, but many actually don't have one and its purpose is unknown. One group of scientists came up with a possible purpose in 2014. The scientists suggested that the tusk may help narwhals determine when water around them is likely to start freezing and become dangerous for them. Marine biologist Kristin Laidre disagrees with that idea, though. She reasons that if the narwhal's tusk serves such an important purpose, then it's most likely that _____

Architects looking for inspiration may examine photographs of iconic buildings such as the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Some studies can be done well with relatively little money. For example, a marketing study simply trying to identify the average amount customers spend per transaction at an online retailer has a straightforward central question that doesn't require many years of data collection. But it is much more expensive to conduct a longitudinal study like the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA), which looks at data for 25,000 people in Australia to find trends in economic well-being that can take a long time to develop. This requires lots of funding because _____

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
ď‚· A U-shaped curve in a river channel is called a meander.
ď‚· A meander forms when water erodes sediment from one side of the riverbank and redeposits that sediment on the opposite side.
ď‚· Meanders will gradually change shape and migrate downstream over time.
ď‚· A river with high sinuosity has many meanders, and a river with low sinuosity has few.
ď‚· The Araguaia River in Brazil has high sinuosity.
[1 1] The student wants to identify what causes meanders. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
ď‚· The human tongue contains taste receptors for a rich, savory flavor called umami.
ď‚· Umami is triggered by the compounds in a variety of foods, including pork and tomato paste. ď‚· Participants in a study tasted a sample of macrokelp, a type of brown seaweed.
ď‚· They rated its umami intensity as moderate.
ď‚· The participants tasted a sample of ma-konbu, another type of brown seaweed.
ď‚· They rated its umami intensity as high.
[1 2] The student wants to make a generalization about brown seaweed. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?<>
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
ď‚· In a 2003 study, Alexander and Schrag tested the effect of plant litter on seedling emergence in a grassland setting.
ď‚· The test site was a mesic grassland in a dry midlatitude climate in the United States.
ď‚· The researchers found that in these environmental conditions the presence of plant litter had a positive effect on seedling emergence.
ď‚· Seedling emergence is when a seedling sprouts above ground and begins photosynthesis.
[1 3] Which choice most effectively uses information from the given sentences to present the study's findings to an audience already familiar with the concept of seedling emergence?
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

ď‚· The participants tasted a sample of bull kelp, another type of brown seaweed.
