Reading the passage
Both accounts discuss animals affected by the weed. Furbearing animals are a promising shared detail; let's check that each actually mentions them. Recognizing something from just one account won't satisfy “both.”
Working the answers
- ACorrect
A mentions “aquatic furbearer productivity”; B discusses “furbearing mammals”, including muskrat and mink. That's the same category of animal in each.
- B
Glyphosate appears in A's discussion of control methods. B doesn't mention it.
- C
The economic threat is B's final point. A doesn't discuss lost revenues or harm to economies.
- D
B discusses “popular pollution ideologies.” A describes ecological effects and control methods without that interpretation.
- E
B explicitly discusses the literature. A says there has been little research on long-term control, but doesn't explicitly mention literature on it. Research and a mention of published literature aren't interchangeable for this task.
