Question

scenario

1 janelle decided to research cardinals, not only because she loves seeing the bright red birds add color to the white winters in her home in western pennsylvania, but also because shes a big fan of the baseball team named for them - the st. louis cardinals. her research uncovers that their scientific name is cardinalis cardinalis. she also learned that the birds used to be most common in the southeast, but now have spread in great numbers and continue to thrive across the entire eastern united states.

2 she started her research on a website from the audubon society, because she knows they are authoritative about birds. she learned there that while cardinals will eat a wide range of foods, from berries and seeds to insects, they are particularly fond of sunflower seeds. in fact, it may have been humans filling birdfeeders with sunflower seeds that has expanded cardinals territory so far north. she was also thrilled that the audubon society provided ten audio clips, an interactive migration map, and a photo gallery all as part of their multimedia.

3 janelle was fascinated by this information she found on the audubon website: \male sings to defend nesting territory, actively attacking intruding males (and attacking his own reflection in windows and mirrors). in courtship, male and female raise heads high, sway back and forth while singing softly; male often feeds female early in breeding season.\

4 the information janelle has found has made her appreciate the common birds even more, and she is now far more observant of them.

question 6

janelle wants to start her presentation with a hook intended to confirm that her audience members live in areas where cardinals are common. what might be a good opening slide?

an image of the st. louis cardinals team paired with the question, \are you a cardinals fan?\

a map of the birds territory paired with the question, \do you live in cardinal territory?\

an image of a cardinal in snow paired with the question, \seen any red birds lately?\

an image of a cardinal at a birdfeeder paired with the question, \do you have a birdfeeder?\

Explanation:

Analyze the presentation goal

The user wants to start a presentation with a hook designed specifically to confirm whether audience members live in areas where cardinals are common.

Evaluate the options against the goal

• Option 1 focuses on the baseball team, which does not relate to the bird's geographic habitat.
• Option 2 pairs a map of the bird's territory with the question, "Do you live in cardinal territory?" This directly addresses and confirms if the audience lives in areas where cardinals are common.
• Option 3 asks about seeing red birds, which is too general and does not specifically confirm living in their established territory.
• Option 4 asks about having a birdfeeder, which relates to feeding habits rather than geographic distribution.

Determine the correct choice

Option 2 directly aligns with the goal of confirming geographic residency in cardinal-populated areas.

Answer:

• (A) An image of the St. Louis Cardinals team paired with the question, "Are you a Cardinals fan?"
• (B) A map of the bird's territory paired with the question, "Do you live in cardinal territory?" (Correct answer)
• (C) An image of a cardinal in snow paired with the question, "Seen any red birds lately?"
• (D) An image of a cardinal at a birdfeeder paired with the question, "Do you have a birdfeeder?"
