Question

which of these statements would be most important to include in an objective summary of the article?

a morton stuffed human skulls with pepper seeds, whose volume he then measured to find the size of the braincase, the part of the skull that holds the brain.

b for example, inuit people, who adopted a marine-based diet high in fatty acids, have genetic tweaks that helped them adapt to it.

c to the victims of racism, it is small consolation to say that the category has no scientific basis.

d genetic studies have introduced new ways of thinking about the variety in human beings.

Explanation:

To determine the most important statement for an objective summary, we analyze each option:

• Option A describes a specific experiment (Morton's skull - measuring method) which is likely a detail rather than a main idea.
• Option B gives an example (Inuit people's genetic adaptation) which is a supporting detail.
• Option C focuses on the perspective of racism victims, which is more of a secondary or tangential point.
• Option D presents a broad and significant idea: how genetic studies have changed the way we think about human variety. This is a main - idea - type statement that would be crucial in summarizing the article's overall message.

Answer:

D. Genetic studies have introduced new ways of thinking about the variety in human beings.
