Jarrod read the following paragraph and inferred that mosquitos do not inject anything into their victims.

(1) The female mosquito is the one that bites (males feed on flower nectar). (2) She requires blood to produce eggs. (3) Her mouthparts are constructed so that they pierce the skin, literally sucking the blood out, and her saliva lubricates the opening. (4) It’s the saliva plus the injury to the skin that creates the stinging and irritation we associate with mosquito bites.

Which sentences contain evidence that supports Jarrod’s inference?

A
sentences 1 and 2

B
sentences 1 and 3

C
sentences 2 and 4

D
sentences 3 and 4

The 4 sentences really have nothing at all to do with what is injected into the victim's skin. In fact 3 sort of contradicts the idea. Something must be put under the skin, otherwise how do you explain Malaria?

However to this question and given what is in the quotation, I would pick 3 and 4.
