Question

they have bare skin around their eyes and at the base of their bills, which aids in radiating heat away from their bodies. lastly, their small size allows them to cool down more efficiently than larger penguin species. which choice best states the overall structure of the text? choose 1 answer: a it introduces an animal species and then lists ways that species has adapted to its environment. b it states a common theory about an animal species and then presents evidence that contradicts the theory. c it mentions a region of the world and then gives examples of animals that inhabit that region. d it describes an animal species and then compares that species with another closely related species.

Explanation:

The text first implies an animal species (penguin, as it mentions "penguin species" at the end) and then lists features like bare skin around eyes and base of bills (aids in radiating heat) and small size (allows for efficient cooling) which are ways the species has adapted to its environment. Option B - no theory is stated and contradicted. Option C - no region is mentioned. Option D - no comparison with another closely related species is done.

Answer:

A. It introduces an animal species and then lists ways that species has adapted to its environment.
