Here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by swamps and marshes.

00:06

Did you hear the one about the guy who illegally parked in a swamp? His car

00:10

got toad. (towed)

Here's a passage about pythons, and viewpoints by two scientists.

00:24

Which of the following would be most interested in using modeling to predict the current areas

00:29

habitable by the python, in order to test which areas may be habitable in the future?

00:46

So, what's this question asking?

00:48

Looks like an inference question! Wait, what is inferring again?

00:52

Well, we can infer our grandpa likes butterscotch candy because wrappers keep falling out of

00:57

his sleeves. But in this case, we can infer which scientist

01:01

would be most interested in modeling by reading their passages.

01:05

Scientist 1 doesn't seem particularly into modeling. In fact, most of his time is spent

01:10

ranting about the USGS. It's not going to be option A.

01:14

Scientist 2, on the other hand, is all about modeling. We didn't even have to dig very

01:17

deep for this one his first word gave it away. Seems like he would be pretty interested in

01:22

modeling areas to predict future habitats. OK, let's bring this to a vote. All those
