While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
The Dnieper River is in Europe.
It ranks No. 48 among the longest rivers in the world.
It is 2,287 kilometers long.
The Indus River is in Asia.
It ranks No. 19 among the longest rivers in the world.
It is 3,610 kilometers long.
The student wants to compare the lengths of the two rivers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
2024: Spain and Portugal sponsored a workshop to address recent encounters between Iberian orcas and marine vessels off the Iberian Peninsula.
Many of the 637 documented incidents involved pods of orcas damaging vessels by ramming, nudging, or biting the rudders.
Studies of Iberian orcas suggest recent increases in tuna populations have reduced the time the orcas spend hunting by 99%.
Researchers believe this shift has increased the number of interactions between marine vessels and understimulated orcas.
The workshop advised mariners to avoid orcas pending further testing of TAST, a harmless acoustic deterrent.
The student wants to make and support a claim about Iberian orca behavior. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

The recent destructive behavior of Iberian orcas may be the result of understimulation, given that orcas’ interactions with marine vessels have increased as the orcas have spent less time hunting.
Tuna populations have increased by approximately 99% off the Iberian Peninsula due to changes in the hunting behavior of Iberian orcas.
As supported by the workshop’s analysis of 637 encounters between vessels and Iberian orcas, TAST is a harmless and effective acoustic deterrent.
In 2024, Spain and Portugal sponsored a workshop that addressed incidents where pods of Iberian orcas were ramming, nudging, or biting the rudders of vessels.
