Question

Imagine that you have been assigned a project on biomes in your science class. Which nonfiction text best matches your reading purpose?

“My Favorite Biome,” written on a blog by a student and posted on a high school website in 2018
Biomes around the World, written by University of Chicago environmental scientists in 2018 for high school classes
Learning about Different Environments, written by University of Chicago environmental scientists for university students in 1962
“Protect the Rainforest Now,” published in the editorial section of a local newspaper

Answer 1

"Biomes around the World" — it’s current (2018), written by environmental scientists (credible), and explicitly targeted to high school classes (right reading level and depth for a class project). The blog and editorial are either informal or opinion-based, and the 1962 university text is likely outdated and too advanced.
