Animal observation and investigations usually begin with

A. handling the animal.
B. a guiding question.
C. feeding the animal.
D. an outline of animal behavior.

my answer is d.

I disagree.

Who is doing these observations and investigations?

Small children?
High school kids?
Grad students?
Professional biologists?

It dose not says

Good question, Ms. Sue! For grad students or professional biologists, B is the correct answer. There must be a thesis or guiding question before answers can be outlined.

This appears to be another faulty question pushed on to unsuspecting students by for-profit-"schools."

Either that or the student has taken this question out of context.

You may be right, Ms. Sue.

I took the exam and the answer was correct. Thanks,Ms Sue and Reed
