5 / 8
according to the article, how are field biologists and agronomists similar?
a. they both collect data to ensure rules are followed.
b. they both collect data that is beneficial to others.
c. they both review the medical histories of patients.
d. they both use science to maximize crop yields.

Explanation:

• Option A: Field biologists and agronomists' main role isn't ensuring rule - following through data collection. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Field biologists collect data about organisms and their environments, and agronomists collect data about crops and soil, etc. Both types of data can be beneficial to others (like for research, farming improvements). This is a valid similarity.
• Option C: Neither field biologists nor agronomists are involved in reviewing patients' medical histories. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: Field biologists study a wide range of biological aspects, not just maximizing crop yields. Only agronomists focus on maximizing crop yields. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. They both collect data that is beneficial to others.
