Question

in their study of fossils of the extinct arthropod mollisonia symmetrica, javier ortega - hernandez, sarah losso, and team reported some obvious indications of m. symmetricas nervous system - for example, the animals primary nerve cord. most intriguingly, they also saw signs of what might be a synganglion, a brain - like nerve mass, in the animals head. this is an exciting possibility: without evidence of a synganglion, we cant tell exactly how m. symmetrica relates to cave crickets, krill, and other arthropods. 6 mark for review which choice best states the main purpose of the text? a to argue that m. symmetrica may have been more similar to cave crickets than to krill b to discuss a significant feature that may have been found in a study of m. symmetrica fossils c to question whether the fossils the team studied were actually of m. symmetrica d to describe m. symmetrica and the way the animals primary nerve cord functioned

Explanation:

The text focuses on a study of M. symmetrica fossils and a significant discovery - possible signs of a synganglion. It doesn't compare to cave - crickets and krill, question the identity of fossils, or describe nerve - cord function in detail.

Answer:

B. To discuss a significant feature that may have been found in a study of M. symmetrica fossils
