PART- A
The author connects paragraph 4 to paragraph 1 by describing the preferred hunting ground of electric fish.
Fish that have the ability to create and detect electric fields are known as "electric fish." These fish use their electric sense for several things, such as communication, navigation, and hunting. It's possible that the author introduced electric fish in paragraph 1 and gave a basic description of their special traits. The preferred hunting grounds of these fish are then highlighted in paragraph 4, which is probably connected to their electromagnetic sense and how they use it to seek prey. The author paints a more complete picture of the routines and behaviors of electric fish by linking these two paragraphs in this manner.
Because they do not adequately depict the relationship between paragraphs 1 and 4 as indicated in the question, the other choices are wrong:
Since neither species is mentioned in the question, comparing sharks to paddlefish is irrelevant to the comparison between the two paragraphs.
Considering that the question expressly asks about electric fish, not platypuses, describing the prey a platypus hunts is likewise irrelevant to the relationship between the two paragraphs.
A suitable response to the question concerning the preferred hunting grounds of electric fish is not to ask the reader to recollect fish that are sensitive to electric fields because the author may not have drawn this conclusion from the text.
