Question: 299
3. The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
- A. Manatees are like other marine mammals in their diet.
- B. Manatees leave the water only to give birth.
- C. Because of their low metabolism, manatees tolerate cold water well.
- D. All sirenians are endangered.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The last sentence of paragraph 1 (“Like the mythological creatures for which they were named, all sirenians living on earth today are vulnerable to extinction.”) supports the idea that all sirenians are endangered. Information in the passage contradicts each of the other answer choices.
