Reading and Writing Module 2 (Hard) Question 27

The student wants to emphasize the aim of the research study. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Answer:
D

Explanation

  • The effect of egg size on the hatchability of broiler chicks has been of interest to many.
  • A team of researchers from Nigeria and South Africa investigated which size had the highest hatchability rate.
  • The team obtained 198 hatchable eggs consisting of small, medium, and large sizes and analyzed the data using the completely randomized design (CRD) method.
  • A hatchability of 96.67% was observed in medium eggs, while the lowest value of 82.88% was found in large eggs.
  • They also found that egg size and chick hatching weight were closely correlated.

Choice D is the best answer. The sentence emphasizes the aim of the research study by highlighting what the researchers conducting the study wanted to know—specifically, which egg size would have a higher hatchability.

Choice A: The sentence emphasizes what the researchers found at the end of the study, not what the goal of the study was.

Choice B: The sentence emphasizes the methodology of the study, not its goal.

Choice C: The sentence emphasizes a finding from the research study, not what the goal of the study was.

✨ Expert's Tip ✨

Identify the goal presented in the question prompt: emphasize the aim (goal) of the study done by a team of researchers from Nigeria.
