Question

Read the paragraph.

Desert tortoises are designed to thrive in their environment. Their front legs are flat like paddles, which helps them dig. They make burrows to sleep in and for protection. Their back legs are short and sturdy to help them evenly distribute their body weight and walk in sand.

Which response provides the most effective support for this inference?


A) Desert tortoises make burrows to sleep in and for protection.

B) Desert tortoises are designed to thrive in their environment.

C) Desert tortoises have front legs that are flat like paddles.

D) Desert tortoises can walk in sand because of their legs.
