Answer 1

1) Giraffes use their extremely long necks to reach the leaves high up on acacia trees, which other animals can not reach, giving them a food source for which they have few competitors. What can you conclude about natural selection from this observation?
A. Giraffe necks get longer over a lifetime of stretching, and their offspring inherit the longer necks of their parents.
B. All giraffes are born with short necks and, eating acacia leaves causes them to stretch over a lifetime.
C. Other mammals will mimic the giraffes and grow longer necks.
D. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.
I think this one is A.

Answer 2

A should be correct

Answer 3

2) Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat butterflies and moths, yet birds rarely eat the monarchs.

What can be inferred from these observations?
A. Monarchs must threaten and attack birds, but not wasps.
B. Monarchs have a way of discouraging birds predation that does not involve hiding.
C. Monarchs' wings are so colorful that most birds must find them difficult to eat.
