Among the best-known birds are the birds of prey, such as hawks, eagles, ospreys, falcons, and owls. They have hooked beaks, strong talons or claws on their feet, and keen eyesight and hearing _________. Ospreys and many eagles eat fish, falcons eat mostly insects, and owls eat everything from insects to fish and mammals

  • A.birds are warm-blooded animals, with feathers and wings
  • B.unlike mammals, except for the duck-billed platypus, birds lay eggs
  • C.their long wing feathers also help them to get the lift necessary for flight
  • D.the larger hawks and eagles prey on small mammals, such as rodents

Answer: D

Correct answer: the larger hawks and eagles prey on small mammals, such as rodents

The sentence after the blank is a list of what each bird eats - ospreys and eagles fish, falcons insects, owls everything. The blank must therefore begin that list, and only the keyed option names prey. The other three describe feathers, eggs and flight, none of which leads into a catalogue of diets.
