Question

4 flea toads are like bigger toads in some ways. they have spines. they have four legs. and they leap. but b. dacnis stands out. it’s slim. it has long legs. these help it jump very far.
5 also, most toads have four fingers. and they have five toes. but this toad has two fingers. and it has three toes.
6 there’s more. b. dacnis is never a tadpole. it hatches from an egg into a small adult form. it’s ready to hop!
and the point is...
7 b. dacnis shows we have more to learn about nature. it’s full of surprises. we may just need to look closely to see them.

question 1
what is one thing that makes b. dacnis different from most other toads?
a it is not able to jump far.
b it has a spine.
c it has six fingers.
d it does not hatch as a tadpole.

Explanation:

• Option A: The text says its long legs help it jump very far, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Flea toads (including B. dacnis) have spines like bigger toads, so B is not a difference.
• Option C: The text says it has two fingers, not six, so C is wrong.
• Option D: The text states "B. dacnis is never a tadpole. It hatches from an egg into a small adult form", which is a difference from most toads (who likely hatch as tadpoles).

Answer:

D. It does not hatch as a tadpole.
