Explanation:

To determine advantageous adaptations for the jackrabbit, we analyze each option:

• Long ears to help them detect potential predators: Jackrabbits' long ears enhance hearing, aiding in predator detection (advantageous).
• Brightly colored fur to make them more visible in their environment: Bright fur would increase visibility to predators, which is disadvantageous, not an adaptation.
• Strong hind legs to help them move more swiftly: Jackrabbits use strong hind legs for fast movement to escape predators (advantageous).

Answer:

• long ears to help them detect potential predators
• strong hind legs to help them move more swiftly
