What are the four types of animals and how many of each are there in the room?

• A. 3 Birds; 2 Owls; 4 Frogs; 1 Butterfly
• B. 2 Birds; 3 Owls; 5 Frogs; 4 Butterflies
• C. 5 Birds; 1 Owl; 2 Frogs; 3 Butterflies
• D. 4 Birds; 0 Owls; 1 Frog; 6 Butterflies

Answer: (C)

Tallying counts for each category and matching them to what you observe is the core idea. Identify the four kinds—birds, owls, frogs, and butterflies—and count how many of each are in the room. The best answer is the one that lists five birds, one owl, two frogs, and three butterflies. This set represents every category, uses whole numbers, and adds up to eleven animals, which is a reasonable total you’d verify by careful counting. The other options either omit a category or assign numbers that don’t align with what you actually counted.
