Your guesses are correct!
1. The desert tortoise's behavior of digging a burrow to hide in during the day to stay cool best illustrates the characteristic of life known as response (A).
2. The statement that best illustrates how an organism maintains homeostasis is that desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water (D).
3. If you set up an experiment and the results do not support your hypothesis, you may want to alter some aspects of your experiment and try it again (A).
