Supporting facts: sent1: the color of / coloration of fur is an inherited characteristic sent2: the fur color of the arctic hare changes from brown in the summer to white in the winter sent3: snow melts in the summer in an arctic environment sent4: a hare is similar to a rabbit sent5: coloration means a thing 's color sent6: when the snow in an environment melts, that environment will become brown sent7: hair / fur is a part of skin for protection / keeping warm sent8: color is a property of something that describes what that something looks like sent9: adaptation is when an organism develops a trait over time for survival sent10: an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment sent11: coloration means a pattern of colors sent12: some animals' fur grows thicker for staying warm in the winter sent13: hiding is a kind of protection against predators / from predators sent14: hiding means visibility / ability to be seen decreases for camouflage sent15: the color of an environment means the color of the things that environment contains sent16: when snow falls in an environment in an environment , that environment will become white sent17: an example of a seasonal change is an animal growing thick fur for keeping warm in the winter sent18: color is a kind of physical / visual property sent19: some environments change color sent20: hiding can be used for avoiding predators sent21: camouflage can be used for hunting for prey / food sent22: camouflage is a kind of protection against predators / from predators / against consumers sent23: if an animal 's fur is a certain color then the skin of that animal is probably that same color sent24: snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment sent25: the colors of parts of an organism are inherited characteristics
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment [AND] color is a property of something that describes what that something looks like [INFER] int1: an example of camouflage is an organism having the same color as its environment [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] some environments change color [INFER] int2: an example of camouflage is an organism changing into the color of the environment [BECAUSE] snow melts in the summer in an arctic environment [AND] when the snow in an environment melts, that environment will become brown [INFER] int3: an arctic environment becomes brown in the summer [BECAUSE] when snow falls in an environment in an environment , that environment will become white [AND] snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment [INFER] int4: the arctic environment becomes white in the winter [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int4 [INFER] int5: the color of an arctic environment becomes brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] the fur color of the arctic hare changes from brown in the summer to white in the winter [INFER] int6: a hare and an arctic environment change to the same color during the summer and winter [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int6 [INFER] int7: an example of camouflage is a hare's fur changing to the color of an arctic environment
