PARAGRAPH 2: Some of the most interesting animal behaviors include those of attracting a mate for reproduction. Adult males that are the most successful in attracting a mate are most likely to have many offspring. Traits that help an animal attract a mate and produce offspring increase the species’ likelihood of surviving in the future. QUESTION: Which of the following is the best definition of the word trait in paragraph 2?

A. To make more organisms of the same kind.

B. a specific characteristic of an organism.

C. Activity that helps an organism survive.

Explanation:

The trait is a word that shows some quality or characteristics of the being. It can be physical or mental. It can also be some characteristic that is biological or genetically inherited.

In the paragraph, we see that trait is used to describe characteristics of the animals which are considered attractive by other animals and which are used to attract the mate for creating offspring. Therefore, trait here means some particular attribute, feature, or characteristic of a certain animal organism.
