Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

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

  • In 2019, Emily Shepard and colleagues in the UK and Germany studied the effect of wind on auks’ success in landing at cliffside nesting sites.
  • They found as wind conditions intensified, the birds needed more attempts in order to make a successful landing.
  • When the wind was still, almost 100% of landing attempts were successful.
  • In a strong breeze, approximately 40% of attempts were successful.
  • In near-gale conditions, only around 20% of attempts were successful.

The student wants to summarize the study. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
