Answer 1

The correct statements about the coral reef are:

- The biodiversity of the reef differs depending on location.
- The corals in the reef are able to survive even in muddy waters.

Answer 2

The two accurate statements about the coral reef at the mouth of the Amazon River are:

1. The biodiversity of the reef differs depending on location.
2. The corals in the reef are able to survive even in muddy waters.

Answer 3

To determine which statements about the coral reef are accurate, let's break down each statement and find the correct ones:

Statement 1: The corals in the reef die in muddy waters.

To determine the accuracy of this statement, we need to consider if corals can survive in muddy waters. However, the statement is repeated twice, which means it is invalid to select it as an accurate statement.

Statement 2: The biodiversity of the reef differs depending on location.

This statement suggests that the biodiversity of the reef can vary based on its location. It is plausible that different areas within the reef might contain different species and levels of biodiversity. Therefore, this statement can be considered accurate.

Statement 3: The biodiversity of the reef is uniform throughout.

This statement contradicts Statement 2, which implies that the biodiversity of the reef can differ depending on location. Therefore, it is invalid to select this statement as accurate.

Statement 4: The corals in the reef are able to survive even in muddy waters.

This statement contradicts Statement 1, which repeats an incorrect claim. Therefore, it is invalid to select this statement as accurate.

Based on the analysis, the correct statements about the coral reef are:

1. The biodiversity of the reef differs depending on location.
