Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Each yellow-spotted lizard has exactly thirteen spots.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement claims that each yellow-spotted lizard has exactly thirteen spots. However, this statement is false because it is highly unlikely for every single yellow-spotted lizard to have exactly thirteen spots. In nature, there is often variation and diversity among individuals of the same species, so it is more plausible that yellow-spotted lizards would have a range of spot numbers rather than a fixed number of thirteen spots. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Yellow-spotted lizards prefer to live in holes. This suggests that they have a natural inclination towards finding shelter and protection in underground spaces.
