QUESTION TEXT: The size of northern fur seals provides…
QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS:
- The bigger the seal population, the smaller the individual seals.
- Seal size did not vary over an 800 year period when Natives hunted the seals.

___________

- Nothing in the stimulus mentions the health of the seals. We have no idea whether a larger seal is healthier or not.
- We’re not told anything about what the seals were like prior to the 800 year period.
- We’re not told anything Native hunting practices. Maybe they limited their hunt, or maybe there were enough seals that they didn’t have to.
- CORRECT. This is true. If the seal population had been reduced, then the seals’ bodies would have been larger.
