Read this excerpt. What is the author’s main point in this excerpt?
A. Pollution is responsible for the declining population of many species.
B. Environmental rules must change if the white monarch is to survive.
C. White monarchs might have had a better chance of survival in the 19th century.
D. Different environments can favor one version of a gene over another.
To determine the author’s main point, we should look closely at the context of the excerpt. Generally, if the focus is on the necessity for changes in rules or efforts to protect a specific species, then the answer would align with option B.
However, if the excerpt emphasizes the impact of pollution or historical contexts, it might suggest options A or C instead.
Without specific details from the excerpt, I suggest revisiting the text to identify keywords that indicate the author’s primary argument. Based on common themes, I would lean toward:
B. Environmental rules must change if the white monarch is to survive.
This suggests a proactive approach to conservation which is often the main focus in discussions about endangered species. If you have further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask!
