Cumulative Review

Scientists have been researching finch populations on the Galápagos Islands for many years. In 1977, there was a drought in the area. The scientists compared data collected in the years before and after the drought to make a conclusion about the effect the drought had on the finches. Which of these is the most likely conclusion the scientists made after studying the data in the graphs?

• Finches that had beaks longer than 10 millimeters did not survive the drought

  of 1977.

• Finches that had beaks longer than 11 millimeters had already become

  extinct by 1976.

• Finches that had beaks between 10 and 11 millimeters long were better adapted to the environment on the islands in 1977 than finches that had different beak sizes.

• Finches that had beaks between 10 and 11 millimeters long were less abundant on the islands between 1976 and 1978 than finches that had different beak sizes.
