Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option A: Neither text mentions nest - building of tropical mountain birds, so this is not an agreement point.
  • Option B: Text 1 says tropical mountain bird species are limited in the types of spaces they can call home (due to temperature), and Text 2 says competition for resources limits where they can live. Both imply these birds are restricted in their living areas.
  • Option C: There is no information in either text about the genetic similarity of tropical mountain bird species living at high elevations.
  • Option D: The texts do not discuss the tools scientists use to observe these birds, so this is not an agreement point.

Answer: B. Tropical mountain bird species are restricted in where they can live.
