Question 1
After reading paragraphs 5 - 14 and considering what you have already read, what is the central idea of the article thus far?
Answer: Correct! Go to question 2.
Answer: Incorrect. The answer is B. A is incorrect because it is simply a descriptive fact about loggerheads but is neither the central idea nor evidence for the central idea. B is the correct answer because it continues the main point that the author is making about the mysteries related to the sea turtle. The evidence throughout these two sections supports this central claim. C is incorrect because it is evidence for the central idea. D is incorrect because it is irrelevant to the central idea of the article. Go to question 2.

Question 2
Which two statements below represent the most significant and relevant evidence for the central idea?
Answer: Correct!
Answer: Incorrect. The answers are C and D. A is incorrect because it simply relates a detail about index locations but is not evidence for the mystery of the sea-turtle counts. B is incorrect because it is another detail about when index counts are done but does not directly support the central idea about the mystery of the count statistics. C is correct because it is a quote from a scientist that gives direct evidence of the surprise related to the sea-turtle counts each year, which supports the idea of "mystery." D is correct because it relates a goal of scientists to find out about sea-turtle death and what might be contributing to the mysterious numbers.
