Question

read the passage.
native to australia, the duck - billed platypus has a duck - like bill, an otter - like body, and a beaver - like tail. europeans first learned of the creature in the late eighteenth century, when a sketch of the strange animal was sent to great britain. observing the drawing along with a platypus pelt, british scientists suspected they were the victims of an elaborate hoax! the platypus may be a strange animal, but it is also a fascinating one. its bill contains thousands of receptors capable of detecting electrical currents produced by organisms hiding in the muddy bottoms of lakes, streams, and rivers. a male platypus, with its venomous stingers, can deter predators with a toxic kick from one of its back legs.
based on clues in the passage, what is most likely true about platypuses?
they do not rely on their eyesight in order to find food.
they hunt underwater in order to escape predators on land.
they closely resemble an animal commonly found in europe.
they are most dangerous when encountered from the front.

Explanation:

The passage states that the platypus's bill has receptors to detect electrical currents from organisms in muddy bottoms. This implies it uses this sense (not eyesight) to find food. There's no mention of hunting underwater to escape land predators. It's native to Australia and has a unique look (duck - like bill, otter - like body, beaver - like tail), not resembling a common European animal. And it uses a toxic kick from its back legs (so danger from the back, not front).

Answer:

They do not rely on their eyesight in order to find food.
