Question

Hillarie is creating a webpage about the Amazon River. Which information would be most useful for her to add next to the image? (A) The Amazon River is about 4,000 miles long and goes through three countries: Peru, Brazil, and Colombia.(B) Bull sharks have been found swimming in the Amazon River, thriving as much as 2,300 miles inland.(C) Mangroves are trees and shrubs that thrive in tropical swamps close to the Amazon River in northern Brazil. (D) When the Amazon River floods during the rainy season, it can increase to almost 25 miles wide.

Answer 1

(A) The Amazon River is about 4,000 miles long and goes through three countries: Peru, Brazil, and Colombia

This is the correct answer assuming the image is a landscape of the Amazon River. It would be the best because it gives the very basic information about the river. The other captions would be best as additional facts about the river especially if they were paired with an image that matches. Option B should be with a picture o fa bull shark. Option C should be an image of the Mangrove trees in the swamps next to the river. Option D could be with an image of the flooded river or the river in a rainstorm.

Answer 2

Your answer will be (A) The Amazon River is about 4,000 miles long and goes through three countries: Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. All the other answer choices stray from the Amazon River, while this gives a clear and direct description.

Hope this helps!!
