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