Marine biologists have observed a shift in coral spawning patterns. Historically, these events occurred in a synchronized burst exactly three days after the full moon. [Proposed sentence: The moon's gravitational pull is also responsible for the ebb and flow of daily ocean tides.]

Should the writer add this sentence here?

  1. No, because it introduces information about lunar gravity that is unrelated to the specific timing of coral spawning.
  2. Yes, because it offers an additional example of how lunar cycles affect various aspects of marine life and ecosystems.
  3. No, because it repeats information about the full moon that was already established in the preceding sentence.
  4. Yes, because it provides necessary scientific context regarding the moon's influence on the Earth's oceans.
