Question

which excerpt from winona ladukes \a case for wilderness\ best appeals to readers logic?
think of it this way, your ancestors navigated by the stars, and today most people wont walk outside without a gps. thats a
crazy loss of direction or skill at some level for sure.
nocturnal animals sleep during the day and are active at night. light pollution radically alters their world by turning night into
day.
its things like frogs, who make it their business to croak at night, particularly when mating. artificial lights disrupt their mojo
and that means less frogs and reduced populations.
migratory birds depend on cues from properly timed seasonal schedules. artificial lights can cause them to migrate too early
or too late and miss ideal climate conditions for nesting, foraging and other behaviors.

Explanation:

• The first option uses a comparison between ancestors' navigation by stars and modern reliance on GPS to imply a loss, which is more of an emotional or observational appeal.
• The second option simply states a fact about nocturnal animals and light pollution without a logical chain of cause - effect for readers to follow in a problem - solving or reasoning sense.
• The third option gives an example of frogs and how artificial lights affect their mating (and thus population) but it is a single - example - based statement.
• The fourth option presents a logical sequence: migratory birds depend on seasonal cues, artificial lights disrupt these cues (cause them to migrate too early or too late), and as a result, they miss ideal climate conditions. This is a clear cause - effect - consequence logical structure.

Answer:

Migratory birds depend on cues from properly timed seasonal schedules. Artificial lights can cause them to migrate too early or too late and miss ideal climate conditions for nesting, foraging and other behaviors.
