Question 1 • LISD English II A

Imagine that you have been assigned a project on biomes in your science class. Which nonfiction text best matches your reading purpose?

Answer

“My Favorite Biome,” written on a blog by a student and posted on a high school website in 2018

Biomes around the World, written by University of Chicago environmental scientists in 2018 for high school classes

Learning about Different Environments, written by University of Chicago environmental scientists for university students in 1962

“Protect the Rainforest Now,” published in the editorial section of a local newspaper

Explanation

For a science project on biomes, a nonfiction source that directly covers biomes and is written for high school classes is the best match. “Biomes around the World” was written by environmental scientists for that audience, so it is likely both relevant and appropriate for your assignment. The other choices are a student blog, a text aimed at university students, or an editorial focused on persuading readers.
