Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that reptiles have adaptations that make it possible for them to live in places with little water. without the right amount of water, all animals will die. animals need to control how much water they lose through urination and evaporation from their skin. for example, reptiles can live in dry places by urinating very little and by having scales on their skin, which limits evaporation. amphibian skin has no covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. amphibians hold on to water in their bodies by living in moist places and by producing mucus (slime) from their skin to help keep it moist. surprisingly amphibians mostly do not drink. their thin skin can absorb water very easily from the water, soil, or air around them. from richard and louise spilsbury, classifying amphibians. copyright 2003, 2009 by heinemann library

Explanation:

The key - supporting evidence is the statement about reptiles urinating very little and having scales to limit evaporation, which are adaptations for living in water - scarce places.
