PrepTest 58, Section 3, Question 13
Adult frogs are vulnerable to dehydration because of their highly permeable skins. Unlike large adult frogs, small adult frogs have such a low ratio of body weight to skin surface area that they cannot survive in arid climates. The animals' moisture requirements constitute the most important factor determining where frogs can live in the Yucat�n peninsula, which has an arid climate in the north and a wet climate in the south.

The information above most strongly supports which one of the following conclusions about frogs in the Yucat�n peninsula?
Large adult frogs cannot coexist with small adult frogs in the wet areas.
Frogs living in wet areas weigh more on average than frogs in the arid areas.
Large adult frogs can live in more of the area than small adult frogs can.
Fewer small adult frogs live in the south than do large adult frogs.
Small adult frogs in the south have less permeable skins than small adult frogs in the north.
