Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour Brought to you by farmland Why did the cow

00:08

say to the chicken crossing the road over Don't you

00:13

see that truck You can check All right We're skimming

00:18

the estuary howmany times going read this thing without falling

00:21

asleep Come on wake up people Yep River deltas tidal

00:24

pool sea grasses And we're done because we say so

00:27

Here we go Read the following Esther from paragraph 2

00:31

just read it aloud Estuarine environments are among the most

00:35

productive on earth creating more organic matter each year than

00:40

comparably sized areas of forest grassland for agricultural land right

00:46

from the excerpt above it can be inferred that what

00:50

and hear the potential answers All right more pregnant foreign

00:53

least productive Let's go All right so great and less

00:57

than no tricks here people we need to take a

01:00

good look at this excerpt and put on our thinking

01:02

caps don't have a thinking cap Try amazon You're really

01:05

good there we'll begin by crossing payoff list Well this

01:08

one goes a little too far The excerpt does brag

01:11

about the estuaries Amazing ability to produce organic matter however

01:15

It doesn't say that estuarine environments can beat all these

01:18

other environments combined right Stop exaggerating a or somebody's going

01:23

to make you put your organic matter where your mouth

01:25

is which would be gross depending on what blend of

01:28

organic matter we're talking about so let's just move on

01:30

Meanwhile option b wants us to assume that agricultural land

01:33

is the least productive because it's listed blast is just

01:37

ridiculous to assume he reads too much into the text

01:40

Nowhere does the passage imply that estuaries are mme or

01:43

important or worthy of protection than other types of environments

01:47

that's like racist or whatever the ecological equivalent of racism

01:52

is have a tattooist Yeah maybe that have a catalyst

01:55

to get out of here All right well we'll look

01:57

into that one guy i see is correct Well the

02:00

excerpt says that the estuaries are more productive than comparably

02:03

sized areas of other types of environments keywords comparably sized

02:09

not like all combined This means that an estuary is

02:12

only one more productive than one of the types of

02:15

environments listed If they're all of similar size if the

02:19

force grassland or agricultural land is bigger than the estuary

02:22

Well then baby all bets are off Hardly Seems like 00:02:25.425 --> [endTime] a fair fight Come on guys get it together
