assessment questions
which quotation supports the claim that there is a downside to being able to see in the dark?
a. “the feline tapetum lucidum is special because its reflective compound is riboflavin, a type of vitamin b.” (paragraph 7)
b. “most animals with blue eyes and white or light - colored coats have also lost this trait.” (paragraph 13)
c. “a cat needs to be seven times closer to an object to see it as sharply as a person would in a brightly lit place.” (paragraph 16)
d. “but don’t worry, i’m sure your cat would rather see clearly at night than read a book.” (paragraph 17)

Explanation:

The claim is about a downside of night - vision. Option C shows that a cat has to be much closer to an object to see it sharply in a brightly lit place compared to a person, indicating a limitation related to vision, which is a downside of their visual capabilities including night - vision. Options A, B, and D do not relate to a downside of being able to see in the dark.

Answer:

C. "a cat needs to be seven times closer to an object to see it as sharply as a person would in a brightly lit place." (Paragraph 16)
