Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Nissologists are scientists who study islands.
  • Some nissologists define an island as any piece of land surrounded by water.
  • Using that definition, they determined that Sweden has 221,000 islands.
  • Other nissologists define an island as being 1 kilometer square, a certain distance from the mainland, and having at least 50 permanent residents.
  • Using that definition, they determined that Sweden has 24 islands.

The student wants to make and support a generalization about nissologists’ definition of an island. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish these goals?
