Question

read the paragraph.
many athletes who compete in the paralympics are missing a biological arm or leg. instead, they may have human - made replacements for these body parts.
biological engineers study living things, like plants, animals, and humans. they use what they learn to create new tools to help people.
based on the information in both of these paragraphs, which sentence best describes something biological?
∘ something biological is connected to human - made products.
∘ something biological is connected to living things.
∘ something biological is connected to sports and athletes.
∘ something biological is connected to technology and engineers.

Explanation:

• Analyze the first paragraph: Athletes in Paralympics have missing biological arms/legs (natural body parts) and use human - made replacements.
• Analyze the second paragraph: Biological engineers study living things (plants, animals, humans).
• Evaluate Option 1: The first paragraph shows that biological body parts are replaced by human - made products, not that biological things are connected to human - made products. So this is incorrect.
• Evaluate Option 2: The second paragraph says biological engineers study living things, and the first paragraph refers to biological arms/legs (parts of living humans). So this option matches the meaning of "biological" as connected to living things.
• Evaluate Option 3: The example of Paralympic athletes is just to show biological body parts, not that biological things are mainly connected to sports and athletes. This is a narrow view.
• Evaluate Option 4: Biological engineers use their knowledge to create tools, but "biological" itself is about living things, not technology and engineers.

Answer:

B. Something biological is connected to living things.
