Most Strongly SupportedDiff: Easy
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Star-nosed moles can't see well, so they use electric-sensing tentacles on their noses to find and catch bugs and worms.
Reasoning: Star-nosed moles have poor vision and rely on specialized star-shaped tentacles to detect the electric fields of prey like worms and insects.
Analysis: Since this is a 'Most Strongly Supported' task, we are looking for a statement that must be true based on the provided facts. The stimulus explicitly links the mole's hunting success to its ability to sense electric fields. Therefore, we should look for an answer choice that confirms that the prey mentioned—worms and insects—actually produce or are associated with these electric fields.

Correct Answer
A
Because the mole detects electric fields produced by other animals and uses that ability to detect and catch prey such as worms and insects, it follows that worms and insects (both animals) produce electric fields.
