The writer is considering changing sentence 4 (reproduced below) so that it clearly articulates the passage's overarching claim.
By studying this new dinosaur, paleontologists believe they can determine the precise function of its mysteriously heart-shaped tail bones.
Which of the following versions of the underlined portion of sentence 4 best supports this goal?

Respuesta :

To change the sentence, making it more comprehensive, it is possible to rewrite it as follows:

Paleontologists believe they will determine the function of the dinosaur's tail bones through this study.

We can arrive at these answers because:

  • The sentence must be rewritten keeping its central meaning.
  • However, it must present the information in a more generalized and comprehensive way.
  • For this reason, all but specific information in the text should be replaced by more comprehensive information that points to the general meaning.

Unfortunately, you didn't show the part of the sentence that is underlined, and you don't show the answer options. This prevents me from being able to answer the question specifically, but I hope the information above will help you.
