Question

Which of these would be least important to include in a summary of this article?

A.Scientists hope that the discovery of vestiges of a water-dweller called Ventastega curonica will facilitate their understanding of the evolution of fish to tetrapods.
B.Edward Daeschler theorizes that Ventastega, by walking instead of swimming, had an evolutionary advantage over other creatures because the water used to be so shallow.
C.Neil Shubin, who helped discover a fish that is one step earlier in evolution than Ventastega, is a professor of biology and anatomy.
D.Scientists have unearthed the skull, shoulders, and partial pelvis of Ventastega curonica, one of the earliest four-legged creatures.

Answer 1

C. Neil Shubin . . . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

Without having the article, it is difficult judging which of the options would be least important. Assuming that the article is focused just on Ventastega. and was authored by Daeschler, one might question the need or benefit of including Neil Shubin in the discussion, other than as a history trivia contribution.
