Question

around 1860, a pair of german brothers watched some storks. the brothers, otto and gustav, studied how the storks flew. the brothers watched as the storks soared and glided through the air. they studied the shape of the storks bodies. they studied the shape of the birds wings. they learned that the shape and size of the wing were important. these things helped the storks glide in the air. this gave otto and gustave an idea. they made a copy of the size and shape of the storks wings. they used this copy to suppose the brothers otto and gustave had not watched and studied storks. what would most likely not have happened? a the brothers might not have had the idea to make the first hang glider. b the brothers might not have made movies about storks. c the brothers might not have found a cure for stork - bites. d the brothers might not have learned to build chimneys.

Explanation:

The text describes how Otto and Gustav studied storks' flight - their body and wing shapes - which led to the idea of making a hang - glider. There is no indication that their study of storks was related to making movies about storks, finding a cure for stork - bites, or learning to build chimneys. The most likely non - occurrence based on the stork study is related to the hang - glider idea.

Answer:

A. The brothers might not have had the idea to make the first hang glider.
