Explanation

The correct answer is "is heartening". This is because the phrase "the fact remains that those birds are dying at unusual rates" suggests that there is a negative aspect to the situation. Therefore, the word "heartening" is the best fit as it means something that brings encouragement or hope, indicating that despite the negative aspect, the discovery of migratory songbirds thriving in deforested wintering spots is still a positive and uplifting finding.

Submit
9. An understanding of engineering theories and problems are impossible until basic arithmetic is fully mastered. (choose the incorrect underlined letter)
