B. to describe how some organisms use bioluminescence to frighten predators

C. to explain how bioluminescent insects differ from bioluminescent ocean organisms

Answer 1

To accurately identify the purpose of paragraph 9, the context of the paragraph is essential. Assuming that paragraph 9 discusses the use of bioluminescence or organism-specific examples, the most likely purpose could be inferred from the options provided.

If the paragraph focuses on a specific organism and its mating behavior linked to bioluminescence, then the best choice would be:

D. to provide an example of an organism that uses bioluminescence to attract a mate.

If the paragraph discusses other aspects, you would choose accordingly based on the content.
