Select three words that belong together. To do this pick one word from each of the three sets below:
Set 1: Estuary, Lake, Neritic Zone
Set 2: High Salt, Intermediate Salt, No Salt
Set 3: Trout, coral, oyster
Answer choices:
A) Neritic zone, intermediate salt, oyster
B) Lake, no salt, coral
C) Estuary, Intermediate salt, trout
D) Neritic Zone, High salt, Coral
help!! i really don't know what the answer is!
Look each unfamiliar word up in a dictionary. Take notes.
i looked them all up but still confused, they all sound somewhat equally together.
but im going to go with either B or C... im probably wrong though
uh, ms. sue?? are those right?
is it D ms. sue???
Did you get the right answer?! i have to answer the same question and i don't know it!
C is the answer:)
To find the answer, you need to select one word from each of the three sets. Let's go through each set and see which word fits together.
Set 1: Estuary, Lake, Neritic Zone
An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with saltwater from the ocean. A lake is a large body of water surrounded by land, typically freshwater. The neritic zone is the shallow part of the ocean that extends from the low tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf.
Set 2: High Salt, Intermediate Salt, No Salt
High salt indicates a high concentration of salt in the water, while no salt means the absence of salt. Intermediate salt suggests a moderate amount of salt present.
Set 3: Trout, Coral, Oyster
Trout is a type of freshwater fish. Coral is a marine invertebrate that forms coral reefs. Oysters are bivalve mollusks typically found in saltwater environments.
Now, let's look at the answer choices:
A) Neritic zone, intermediate salt, oyster
B) Lake, no salt, coral
C) Estuary, intermediate salt, trout
D) Neritic zone, high salt, coral
Considering the definitions of the words in each set, we can eliminate options B and C. Option B, "Lake, no salt, coral," doesn't match because lakes are typically freshwater, while coral is found in salty ocean environments. Option C, "Estuary, intermediate salt, trout," doesn't fit because trout are freshwater fish, and estuaries are brackish, a mixture of freshwater and saltwater.
This leaves us with options A and D. Option A, "Neritic zone, intermediate salt, oyster," makes sense because oysters are usually found in the neritic zone, which is a shallow marine environment. However, option D, "Neritic zone, high salt, coral," is the correct answer since coral is commonly associated with high salt environments such as the ocean.
So, the correct answer is D) Neritic Zone, High salt, Coral.
