Question 2 • Life Science Q1

Which observations would be most helpful in identifying this fish? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It lives in water.
B
It has a long, narrow body.
C
It is covered in spots.
D
It swims to move about its environment.
E
The fin on its back is very close to the tail.

Explanation

Useful identifying observations are features that distinguish this fish from other fish. Its long, narrow body, spots, and the position of the fin near its tail are specific physical traits. Living in water and swimming are common to fish, so those observations do not help identify this particular fish.
