Question

Which quotation highlights an outcome of Ristroph's study?



A. "Researchers added strips of metallic tape to one of the long edges of a rectangular sheet to create varying degrees of front weight." (Paragraph 5)

B. "the relationship between insect wings and falling paper stood out, and the results contributed to a more general understanding of animal flight and swimming dynamics." (Paragraph 6)

C. "Ristroph also made observations using a water tank and thin plates of plastic, whose 'flight' through water are governed by the same physics that determines the motions of paper falling through the air." (Paragraph 8)

D. "'There are even some designs that are passive flyers — not powered — that are modeled on flying plant seeds that twirl like helicopters when they fall.'" (Paragraph 11)

Answer 1

B. It explicitly states the study's result — that the findings linked insect wings and falling paper and contributed to understanding flight and swimming dynamics.
