Critical Reading>Select an Answer

In recent years, several urban US airports haveconverted some of the unused land past theirrunways to provide habitats for honeybees. Whileairports may seem unlikely locations for beekeeping, many of them, in fact, have the potential to offerideal conditions for an apiary (a group of beehives). The Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, for instance, hosts an apiary on a 400-square-foot area of land just north of one of itsrunways. Dutch clover is a preferred food source for honeybees. This area is rich inDutch clover. The honeybees may thrive there in part because they aren't exposed to theagricultural pesticides suspected of contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder. Thoughunorthodox, airport-based honeybee habitats can help to ensure that local regions havehealthy populations of honeybees.

Which choice most effectively combines the underlined sentences?

A.Dutch clover, a preferred food source for honeybees, is something in which this area is rich.

B.This area is rich in Dutch clover, a preferred food source for honeybees.

C.Rich in Dutch clover, this area also has a preferred food source for honeybees.

D.Dutch clover is a preferred food source for honeybees, and this area is rich in Dutch clover.
