Question
Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
Next Diane borrowed Mary’s cat, Whites, for a dress rehearsal of the big event. Mary told Diane that cats vent body heat through the tongue. To avoid overheating the animal, she recommended using cold water—and working quickly.
When Mary tranquilized her cat for its regular teeth cleaning, Diane made an impression of the little pink tongue. She had to work around an oxygen tube in the cat’s mouth. But, once again, she was able to produce an amazingly detailed impression. It included all the spines that made the cat’s tongue so rough. Cats need the stiff bristles—called filiform papillae—to clean their fur. Diane wondered what the tiger tongue would feel like—a scrub brush?
Which excerpt from "Bone Detective" best shows that Diane France is recognized as an expert in her line of work?
Answer:
The correct option is A)
Explanation:
In the book "Bone Detective" Diane is described as a forensic anthropologist and a bone detective. Sometimes, her work required recreating impressions.
"Impression" here refers to a graphic or pictorial replica of a person or an object.
The second paragraph states that "once again..." this means she had done this before and this time again demonstrated her dexterity in her chosen field of profession.
Cheers!
