Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).

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

  • 2024: Spain and Portugal sponsored a workshop to address recent encounters between Iberian orcas and marine vessels off the Iberian Peninsula.
  • Many of the 637 documented incidents involved pods of orcas damaging vessels by ramming, nudging, or biting the rudders.
  • Studies of Iberian orcas suggest recent increases in tuna populations have reduced the time the orcas spend hunting by 99%.
  • Researchers believe this shift has increased the number of interactions between marine vessels and understimulated orcas.
  • The workshop advised mariners to avoid orcas pending further testing of the efficacy of TAST, a harmless acoustic deterrent.

The student wants to make and support a claim about Iberian orca behavior. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
