Question

multiple choice
4
directions: use evidence from the text to find the
correct answer.
use specific information
from the text to describe
the goldfinch chicks.
they have gold and black feathers.
they are tiny and pink.
they are covered in soft gray down.
they are solid white and with pink beaks.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on typical knowledge about goldfinch chicks (or text evidence, though general ornithological knowledge helps here). Goldfinch chicks, when young, are covered in soft gray down. Option A describes adult goldfinch plumage. Option B (tiny and pink) is more like very newly hatched birds of some species but not typical for goldfinch chicks. Option D (solid white with pink beaks) is incorrect. So the correct option is the one about soft gray down.

Answer:

C. They are covered in soft gray down.
