Question

frogs in five ponds without chemical x. which statement could be your prediction? a if a pond contains chemical x, then there will be more deformed frogs compared to a pond that does not contain chemical x. b the water in a pond of deformed frogs will have lower levels of chemical x. c the water in a pond of non - deformed frogs will have higher levels of chemical x. d if a pond contains chemical x, then there will be less deformed frogs compared to a pond that does not contain chemical x.

Explanation:

Typically, a harmful chemical like chemical X is likely to cause deformities in frogs. So, ponds with chemical X are expected to have more deformed frogs compared to those without it. Options b, c and d go against this logical relationship between the presence of chemical X and frog - deformities.

Answer:

A. If a pond contains chemical X, then there will be more deformed frogs compared to a pond that does not contain chemical X.
