Question

The dogs are special because they assist in research without

• A. accessing genetic information of whales.
• B. disturbing or cutting up whales.
• C. invading the northwest coastline.
• D. disturbing the wildlife population.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

disturbing or cutting up whales.

"These dogs have enabled them to noninvasively access vast amounts of genetic and physiological information which is used to tackle conservation problems around the world." - this statement suggests that sniffer dogs are special because they enable the scientists to complete their research without disturbing or cutting up whales (as indicated by the use of 'noninvasively'). Thus B is the answer.
