Review: Coelacanths and Lungfish II
Explanation
We can finish this question without looking at the answer
choices. The two species were of interest because they had skeletons that would
have allowed the development of limbs. We look for that in the answer choices.
Do any choices match our expectation? Answer choice (B) does. If we were
confused, one way to look at this is notice that we have established the fish
as of interest and explained why by line 17 of the passage. Choices (A), (D),
and partially (E) are statements that come only afterward in the passage, so
they do not play a role in establishing this point. And (C) is factually
incorrect.
The correct answer is (B).
