Question: 189

2. Which best describes the organization of the paragraph?

  • A. A controversy is evaluated and then settled.
  • B. An opinion is offered and supported with facts.
  • C. The history of research on animal play is summarized.
  • D. Several theories relating to a scientific question are presented.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D

Even if the theories concerning animal play constitute a "controversy," the author does not settle it, so eliminate choice (A). The author presents several opinions, not just one, and the opinions are not supported with facts, so eliminate choice (B). No mention of research is mentioned, so eliminate choice (C). Several theories on a scientific question (why animals play) are presented.
