Sample Question 3
How do migratory birds use the position of the sun as a navigational compass, and what additional ability is required for this to function accurately?

They track the sun as a fixed directional reference that does not require time information to use effectively

They detect the sun only during dawn and dusk when it is at fixed cardinal positions on the horizon
