Giant squids are very similar to their smaller relatives. They have a torpedo-shaped body, two tentacles, eight arms, a mantle, and a beak. All of their body parts are much larger, though. A giant squids eye may be as large as a volleyball! Given the size of giant squids, its hard to imagine that they have any enemies in the ocean, but they do. Toothed sperm whales eat giant squids. How do we know this? Thousands of squid beaks have been found in the stomach of a single sperm whale. The hard beaks of giant squids are indigestible. Also, many whales bear ring marks on their forehead and fins
that match the size of the suckers found on giant squids. What can you infer from this passage? A. Giant squids only imagine that they have enemies. B. A toothed sperm whale can eat 10,000 giant squids in one meal. C. Giant squids defend themselves against toothed sperm whales. D. Giant squids and sperm whales compete with each other for food.
I think its c?
Yeah I think it's C too. If there were ring marks found on the whales' foreheads, then I think that means that the squids fought back.
I put C in hoping it would be right, unfortunetly it wasnt but thanks for your help anyway.!
What? It was wrong?? Was the answer supposed to be B? The paragraph said "thousands of beaks" were found in the whales' stomachs. But how could be know that it'd be as much as 10,000? lol. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong answer.
