QUESTION TEXT: Wild cheetahs live in the African grasslands….
QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS:
- The cheetah population isn’t big enough to survive a natural disaster.
- There isn’t enough grassland to support more cheetahs.
ANALYSIS: Sounds like the cheetahs are extremely vulnerable to a natural disaster. Their population is too small to survive a disaster. But there isn’t enough grassland for their population to grow.
___________
- The estimates of the population size might have been accurate.
It’s the estimates of how big the population had to be to survive a disaster that were inaccurate.
- We’re not told that the habitat is decreasing. We’re just told there isn’t enough habitat for the cheetahs to expand their population.
- There could be other threats. Natural disasters might be very rare, and maybe hunting will cause the cheetah to go extinct in a few years.
- CORRECT. In the long term, we might add enough grassland to support a larger cheetah population. But currently there isn’t enough grassland to support a cheetah population large enough to survive a natural disaster.
- We’re not told how likely a disaster is.
