Reading the passage
Picture a buffet sampler: a little of this, then a little of that. Even when a favorite plant is plentiful, an okapi leaves much of it and tries other leaves. The answer needs that pattern of sampling and moving on; it needn't involve another animal eating.
Working the answers
- A
Opposite pattern. The child finishes all of one food before switching. The okapi leaves plenty behind. Sharing the topic of food doesn't make the behaviors match.
- B
Sticking to an outline without digressing doesn't resemble sampling parts of several things. Nothing here captures the movement among different foods.
- C
We aren't told that okapis procrastinate or rush. This timing pattern has no counterpart in the eating behavior.
- DCorrect
The reader takes a few interesting pieces from one story and moves to another without finishing it. That's the okapi's sampling pattern in a different setting. Both leave much of one option untouched while trying others.
- E
Staying hidden resembles something else we learned about okapis, but this question asks about eating. The deer example tells us when it emerges, not how it samples food. Matching the animal's general habits isn't enough.
