Question

how are doctors and paleontologists most similar?
○ both diagnose injuries.
○ both study bones.
○ both look at geological time periods.
○ both develop treatment plans.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: Doctors diagnose injuries, but paleontologists study ancient life (like fossils), not diagnose injuries. Eliminate.
• Analyze Option 2: Doctors study human bones (e.g., for injuries, diseases), paleontologists study fossilized bones (of ancient organisms). Both study bones. This fits.
• Analyze Option 3: Paleontologists may relate to geological time (fossil age), but doctors don’t. Eliminate.
• Analyze Option 4: Doctors develop treatment plans, paleontologists don’t (they study, not treat). Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Both study bones.
