Sample question

Researchers placed beehives on the roofs of 40 office buildings in three cities. Over two summers, hives in neighborhoods with more street trees produced noticeably more honey than hives near large paved areas, even when the hives were the same distance from parks. The team concluded that small, scattered patches of greenery can matter as much to city bees as a single large park.
Which choice best states the main idea of the text?
  1. City bees produce more honey than rural bees.
  2. Scattered urban greenery may support bees as effectively as large parks.
  3. Rooftop beehives should be placed close to parks.
  4. Paved areas are increasing in most cities.
Show answer and explanation

B. Scattered urban greenery may support bees as effectively as large parks.. The study’s conclusion, which the honey results support, is that small, scattered patches of greenery can matter as much to city bees as a large park. The text never compares city bees with rural bees, does not recommend placing hives near parks (it suggests that distance from parks matters less than nearby greenery), and says nothing about whether paved areas are increasing.
