Question

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 percent (A)

Answer 2

Answer:

1 percent

Explanation:

It says that only 3 percent of the water is fresh. So it can be 1 percent or 3 percent. But then it says that most of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice caps. So the animals would have a hard time getting to this water. So the rest is available for them. Approximately 1 percent is most reasonable.
