Question
While visiting the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin noticed several species of birds, which he called finches. These finches were similar in some ways but different in others.
Some of the finches that Charles Darwin observed on the Galapagos Islands fed on tiny insect parasites living on the skin of tortoises and lizards. These finches would reach their beaks into small, narrow folds in the animals' skin to catch their insect prey. Which finch below most likely fed on the smallest insects?
A.
finch Y
B.
finch X
C.
finch W
D.
finch Z

To determine which finch most likely fed on the smallest insects, we need to consider the shape and size of the finches' beaks. Generally, finches with narrower and more slender beaks are better suited for reaching into small spaces and catching tiny insects.
If we assume that the options A (finch Y), B (finch X), C (finch W), and D (finch Z) each correspond to different beak shapes and sizes, you would want to look at the finch with the narrowest and most specialized beak for this feeding behavior.
Without specific descriptions or images of each finch’s beak size, I cannot definitively identify which finch (W, X, Y, or Z) is the one that likely fed on the smallest insects. If you have any further information about their beak shapes or sizes, I can help you make a more educated guess. Otherwise, consider choosing the finch that you believe has the most specialized beak for accessing small insects.
