Q3 - Deer Mouse

by DanielZ772 Sun Sep 10, 2017 5:28 pm

Encountered this question in an experimental section, and I'm totally confounded. Apparently the answer is (C) - There were very few deer mice in the area to which the deer mouse was moved. I cannot understand how this is relevant without assuming quite a good deal of information that is well out of scope.

Is this an artifact of the way tests were written 20 years ago?

The correct answer is (B).

You may have a copy of the test with a typo in the answer key (I also have a copy of the test that says the correct answer is C, so that digital copy is definitely 'out there'.)

But it's (B): the mouse followed the smell of the campfire smoke all the way back to camp.
