Question

The bear walked slowly through the underbrush, stopping occasionally to eat some berries. Near the bottom of the ravine, the bear stopped to take a drink from a small stream. Then, it rose up again, its muzzle dripping with cold water.

What would a scientist who studies bears most likely want to add to this description?

A)the name of the specific type of bear
B)more about the stream
C)more description of the surrounding terrain
D)what type of berries the bear ate

Answer 1

I think the answer would be A because scientists would want to include the type of bear because it is what scientists are interested in

Answer 2

A)the name of the specific type of bear

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific name is a way of recognizing a specimen universally, so a scientist would probably like to add the bear's specific name to that description.

Imagine that you, having a conversation with a scientist, say that you saw a lovely bear. You say the name of the animal, but the scientist has never heard of it. After explaining the characteristics, he understands who you are talking about, but explains that this animal is known in his country by another name. For this reason, it is important to add the specific name of the animal to the description so that everyone will know which animal is being described.
