Question

based on the evidence, which prediction would be logical? naval sonar will incite fear and confusion in whales. poisoned whales will beach themselves. whales fleeing predators will enter shallow water. starving whales will beach themselves hunting food.

Explanation:

Without the actual passage, we consider general knowledge about whale behavior. Naval sonar is known to disrupt whale - navigation and communication, causing fear and confusion. Poisoned whales may lose their ability to navigate properly and beach themselves. Whales fleeing predators might enter shallow water as a defensive measure. Starving whales are not likely to beach while hunting food as beaching is not a typical hunting behavior. All of these predictions can be logical depending on the evidence in the passage.

Answer:

It depends on the evidence in the passage. All options could potentially be logical based on different scenarios and evidence:

• Naval sonar will incite fear and confusion in whales.
• Poisoned whales will beach themselves.
• Whales fleeing predators will enter shallow water.
• Starving whales will beach themselves hunting food.
