PrepTest 13 - Section 2 - Question 4

Show analysis

Conservationists have established land reserves to preserve the last remaining habitat for certain species whose survival depends on the existence of such habitat. █ █████ ██ █████ ██ ██████ ████ ███████ ███████ ███ █████ ████████ ███████ ███████████ ██ ██████ ██ █ ███████ ███████ ██ ████ █ ████ ████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ████████ ███ ███████████ █████ ██████ █████ ███████ █████ ██ ██████████ ███ ████ ████ █████ ████ ███████ ████ ███ █████████ ███████

Stimulus Breakdown

The stimulus tells us about land reserves established by conservationists. The purpose of these reserves is to preserve certain types of habitat for species that rely on that habitat to survive. As an example, the stimulus points to a reserve in Mexico that preserves certain trees where monarch butterflies live in the winter. But then the stimulus throws us a twist: if global warming occurs as predicted, then the "temperature bands" where different plants can grow will move into what are now cooler regions. Presumably this is because as the Earth warms, regions which currently provide the correct temperature will become too hot, but regions which are currently too cool will warm up and become suitable.

Objective: Find a Strongly-Supported Claim

We're looking for an answer choice which derives support from the stimulus. Keep in mind the direction of support: the correct answer should serve as an inference or a conclusion based on the information given; we're not trying to strengthen the stimulus. Also make sure to read carefully and pay attention to details to avoid falling into a trap answer.
