A) Arctic terns, being true long distance migrants, they nest in coastal wetlands of northern Europe.
B) Arctic terns are true long distance migrants, nesting in coastal wetlands of northern Europe.
C) Being that they are true long distance migrants, arctic terns nest in coastal wetlands of northern Europe.
D) Nesting in coastal wetlands of northern Europe, arctic terns are true long distant migrants.
E) True long distance migrants, arctic terns nest in coastal wetlands of northern Europe.

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the options justify the reason they are true long distance migrants

Explanation:

From the passage, they are true long distance migrants because they nest in coastal wetlands of northern Europe but FLY SOUTH FOR THOUSAND OF MILES TO SPEND THE EUROPEAN WINTERS IN ANTARCTICA.

The highlighted statement above explains why they are true long long term distance migrants because they live in northern Europe but have to travel down south to enjoy winter. This distance from the north to the south is a very far distance from what can be inferred from the passage.

So therefore, Arctic terns are true long distance migrants as they nest in wetland northern Europe but travel south to enjoy winter in Antarctica.
