A student has written the following thesis:

Recent claims that bee colony collapse will end food production as we know are not well supported.
During the research process, however, the student finds very little research that supports her claim and much evidence that contradicts it. Which of the following would be the most appropriate revision for her thesis?

The options of the question are, A) Although only few scientist claim that bee colony collapse poses only a short-term food-production problem, this clearly must be the truth. B) Bee colony collapse is such a new development that not a lot time has passed to allow enough skeptics to develop evidence against its potential threat. C) Once bees have stopped dying in sufficient quantity, there will be ample evidence to support a claim that bee colony collapse is an invention of the human imagination. D) while someone believe the bees will recover, albeit slowly, it is becoming increasingly clear that our food crops may be in danger.

The correct answer is D) while someone believes the bees will recover, albeit slowly, it is becoming increasingly clear that our food crops may be in danger.

The most appropriate revision on her thesis would be “while someone believes the bees will recover, albeit slowly, it is becoming increasingly clear that our food crops may be in danger.”

Although the student found little research that supports her claim and much evidence that contradicted, the most appropriate revision on her thesis would be that while someone believes the bees will recover, albeit slowly, it is becoming increasingly clear that our food crops may be in danger. This is correct because the text says that food production as we know is not well supported and will end due to the collapse of bee colonies.
