Until recently, many biologists believed that invertebrate "schools"(448 more words not shown)

According to the passage, jellyfish(6 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

Jellyfish groupings aren't schools. That's the one point we're given about them, so keep the prediction simple. We don't need a theory about how jellyfish swim to answer what was said.

Working the answers

  • A
    Correct

    Their groupings “cannot be described as schools.” This directly matches the stated point.

  • B

    We aren't told their members are evenly spaced. Nor does failing to qualify as a school tell us which requirement they fail: even spacing and facing the same way are separate features in the definition.

  • C

    Common food sources can bring temporary groups together, but jellyfish aren't said to gather only to feed.

  • D

    The text doesn't give jellyfish an exception under favorable circumstances. It says their groupings aren't schools.

  • E

    Krill, not jellyfish, are the example of animals collecting in numbers large enough to provide abundant food.
