Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

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

  • In 2013, paleontology professor Hesham Sallam and his students from Mansoura University in Egypt made a discovery.
  • The team found a partial dinosaur skeleton at a site in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis.
  • The skeleton belonged to a dinosaur species that lived approximately 80 million years ago.
  • The new species was named Mansourasaurus to recognize the team that discovered it.

The student wants to explain the origin of the species’ name. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
