The Florida Everglades are one of the most diverse ecosystems in the United States and are home to many species of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Recently, scientists have investigated and determined that the population of pythons, which are from Asia, has increased greatly. What question is least likely to be asked based on these results?
Answer
A
Are the pythons a new species?
B
How can the python population be controlled?
C
How quickly are pythons reproducing in the Everglades?
D
How are the pythons affecting other animal populations?
Explanation
The results show that the python population has increased, so scientists would likely ask what is causing the growth and how it affects the Everglades. Questions about controlling pythons, their reproduction rate, and effects on other animals all relate to that increase. Asking whether pythons are a new species is least relevant, since the question already identifies them as pythons from Asia.
