Question

(1) In 2012, researchers in a rainforest in Madagascar discovered the smallest known chameleon, the Brookesia nana, also known as the nano-chameleon. (2) The chameleon measures around one inch in length, shorter than the length of a human thumb. This animal can be difficult to spot as it hides from predators in grass that fully covers its tiny body. (3) Scientists worry about the future of this chameleon since it lives in an area threatened by degradation.

The writer of the essay wants to integrate the following research into the paragraph:

"The chameleon’s habitat has suffered from extreme deforestation. We recommend that the chameleon be listed as endangered so that it can fall under new environmental protection,” said primary researcher Giovanna Russo.

Where should the writer logically integrate this research into the paragraph?

at the end of the first sentence to develop the introduction of the chameleon
before the first sentence to hook the audience on the topic of the chameleon
after the third sentence to support a point about a concern facing the chameleon
after the second sentence to further the discussion on the size of the chameleon

Answer 1

after the third sentence to support a point about a concern facing the chameleon

Explanation: the quote details habitat loss and a conservation recommendation, so it logically follows the sentence about scientists worrying because of habitat degradation. It does not develop the introduction or discuss size.
