While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>The honeybee dance, or "waggle dance," was deciphered by Karl von Frisch.</li> <li>The angle of the dance relative to vertical indicates direction to a food source relative to the sun.</li> <li>The duration of the waggle indicates distance.</li> <li>This is a rare example of symbolic communication outside humans.</li> <li>Von Frisch received the Nobel Prize in 1973 for the discovery.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize the sophistication of honeybee communication. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
Karl von Frisch deciphered the honeybee dance.
- B
The angle of the dance indicates direction relative to the sun.
- Ccheck_circle
The waggle dance encodes both direction (via angle to vertical) and distance (via waggle duration), an unusual example of symbolic communication outside humans.
- D
Karl von Frisch received the Nobel Prize in 1973.
Explanation
To emphasize sophistication, the sentence should show that the dance encodes multiple pieces of information and locate it in a wider context. Choice B does both. The others give one component or none.
