Question # 1

The Burmese ferret badger burrows its home in the ground.

Q:Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the zoologists?

Choose an answer

There are more common characteristics than there are differences among the Burmese ferret badger's styles of the local Burmese ferret badger population that has been studied most extensively

Burmese ferret badgers are found only in Burma and India, where local populations of the badgers apparently seldom have contact with one another
