The hibiscus bush is both native and common to many regions of the Middle East. The pest of the hibiscus plant is an insect belonging to the Formicidae family, the hibiscus ant, which traces the scent of the hibiscus flower and covers the pistil, making the pollen inaccessible to flying insects, such as bees, that pollinate the plant; as a result, the hibiscus ant prevents the plant from reproducing. The Society for the Preservation of Native Flora of the Middle East plans to increase the presence of the hibiscus plant in urban areas by introducing to these areas a predator of the hibiscus ant, the Ant-eating Chat, a Southern African bird that belongs to the Muscicapidae bird family.
Which of the following questions is important to evaluating the plan of the Society for the Preservation of Native Flora of the Middle East?
A. How much will introducing the Chat cost the municipal governments?
B. How much do local residents of the areas where the Chat is to be introduced care about urban beautification projects?
C. Is the Chat able to migrate after being transported unnaturally from one region of the world to another?
D. Will the Chat be able to nest and reproduce in the physical and climatic conditions of the Middle East?
E. Is there a different flowering plant that is more worthwhile for the Society for the Preservation of Native Flora of the Middle East to preserve than the hibiscus plant?

Which of the following questions is important to evaluating the plan of the Society for the Preservation of Native Flora of the Middle East?
A. How much will introducing the Chat cost the municipal governments?
A. The cost of the plan will not determine the effectiveness of the plan, only the feasibility of the plan.
B. How much do local residents of the areas where the Chat is to be introduced care about urban beautification projects?
B. Residents' general attitude toward beautification projects does not reflect on the potential success of fighting off the hibiscus ant by introducing the Chat.
C. Is the Chat able to migrate after being transported unnaturally from one region of the world to another?
C. The migratory behavior of the Chat does not impact the bird's eating habits nor its ability to curb the hibiscus ant population.
D. Will the Chat be able to nest and reproduce in the physical and climatic conditions of the Middle East?
D. Correct: If the Chat population cannot be maintained, then it will not be able combat the hibiscus pest and, therefore, will not help increase the presence of the plant.
E. Is there a different flowering plant that is more worthwhile for the Society for the Preservation of Native Flora of the Middle East to preserve than the hibiscus plant?
E. The goal of the plan pertains specifically to the hibiscus, and, therefore, the worthiness of other plants is irrelevant to the plan.

If the bird cannot nest and reproduce, eventualy they will die. Therefore, the strategy won't cause the desired result.
