confused, and migrating birds get confused when they
fly with the stars.

readers emotions?

excites the readers sense of adventure.
○ the excerpt uses examples of vulnerable animals,
such as confused sea turtle babies, to make readers
feel sympathetic.
○ the excerpt explains how birds fly at night, which
makes readers feel awed at the power of flight.

Explanation:

The excerpt describes how artificial lights harm vulnerable animals (frogs, sea turtle babies, migrating birds). Using these examples evokes empathy, appealing to readers' emotions by making them feel sympathetic toward the affected animals. Other options focus on facts, adventure, or awe—none of which align with the emotional appeal of highlighting animal vulnerability.

Answer:

The excerpt uses examples of vulnerable animals, such as confused sea turtle babies, to make readers feel sympathetic.
