Question 5610e5b7

Expression of Ideas - Rhetorical Synthesis

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • The magnificent frigatebird (fregata magnificens) is a species of seabird that feeds mainly on fish, tuna, squid, and other small sea animals.
  • It is unusual among seabirds in that it doesn’t dive into the water for prey.
  • One way it acquires food is by using its hook-tipped bill to snatch prey from the surface of the water.
  • Another way it acquires food is by taking it from weaker birds by force.
  • This behavior is known as kleptoparasitism.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two ways a magnificent frigatebird acquires food. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
