Craft and Structure practice question
GPS collars record where the wolves travel, but not why. Field trackers reading snow for kill sites and scent marks ____ the collar data with context no satellite can capture — though researchers stress that the collars remain essential for covering terrain no human can follow daily.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. supplementCorrect
- B. supplant
- C. survey
- D. simulate
Answer: A. supplement
The text says trackers add detail the collars miss while collars still provide the core data — the trackers 'supplement' (add to) the collars.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. supplant
- 'Supplant' means replace, but the sentence says the collars remain essential.
- C. survey
- The trackers are not studying the collars; they are adding to what collars record.
- D. simulate
- The trackers' observations are real, not a simulation of collar data.
