Topic and Scope
- discusses the evolution and unique adaptations of wind pollination.Mapping the Passage
Question bank and Collections:
Answers and Explanations OE
1)
Where does the author discuss pollen grains? Go back to ¶s1 and 2. Since the Roman Numeral choices are fairly short, it‘s probably fastest in this case not to worry about searching for the one that appears most frequently; start in order. The author discusses in ¶s1 and 2 that small, low-density grains are preferable, which validates RNs I and III. Dryness can be inferred from the author‘s point that many pollen grains ―quickly dehydrate after release.‖ Therefore, all RNs are valid and the2)
The passage is primarily describing wind pollination and related concepts. ‗B‘ captures this very well3)
A scattered detail question. You‘re looking for an answer choice that doesn’t function to prevent pollen loss. While three of the choices can be eliminated based on the text of the passage, (D) is an adaptation with an entirely different function. Preventing self-pollination is never discussed in the context of pollen loss; it‘s useful only to prevent inbreeding.4)
Predict: where would wind pollinated plants not do well? Probably in a place without much wind and with lots of moisture. (A) looks good: tropical rain forests certainly match both these criteria.Question bank and Collections:
