While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • Doña María do Carmo Bandeira was a Brazilian botanist. • Between 1924 and 1941, she collected approximately 800 botanical samples. • She collected a sample of Polytrichum juniperinum from Serra de Itatiaia in Mauá in February of 1925. • She collected a sample of Sphagnum gracilescen from Ponte do Inferno in Corcovado in March of 1925. • Polytrichum juniperinum and Sphagnum gracilescen are both species of moss. The student wants to emphasize the sample collected from Serra de Itatiaia. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Correct answer: B (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence emphasizes the sample collected from Serra de Itatiaia, noting that Bandeira collected a Polytrichum juniperinum sample there in 1925. Choice A is incorrect. The sentence introduces Bandeira to an audience unfamiliar with her work; it doesn’t emphasize the sample she collected from Serra de Itatiaia. Choice C is incorrect. While the sentence mentions the sample Bandeira collected from Serra de Itatiaia, it doesn’t emphasize this sample over the sample from Ponte do Inferno. Choice D is incorrect. The sentence provides examples of the botanical samples Bandeira collected; it doesn’t emphasize the sample collected from Serra de Itatiaia.
