The evidence from the text that best supports the inference that advice to people who want to help bees will continue to change over time is:
b. Alger is still investigating whether increasing plant diversity or culling certain plants could help decrease disease transmission.
This response suggests that ongoing research is being conducted to determine the best methods for helping bees, indicating that the advice may evolve as new findings emerge.
The wrong answers are:
a. It is likely that disease spread is going both ways, so even if diseases in commercial bees are eliminated wild bees could potentially reinfect them.
- This statement discusses the dynamics of disease transmission, but does not directly indicate that advice will change over time.
c. Keeping more bees and planting more flowers may be contributing to the spread of diseases among human-managed and wild bees.
- While this presents information about the effects of certain actions, it doesn't imply that the advice given will evolve based on this knowledge.
d. From the urban gardeners to rural farmers, people have been encouraged to plant more bee-friendly flowers.
- This statement describes current advice being given, but does not suggest that this advice will change in the future.
