Question: In the summer, the Arctic fox's fur is dark gray or brown. In the winter, its fur is white. The changes in color enable the fox to
Answer: blend in with its surroundings.
Hypothesis: changing into the color of an arctic environment in the summer and winter is used for blending in with an environment by arctic foxes
Supporting facts: sent1: camouflage can be used for hunting for prey / food sent2: an arctic fox is a kind of animal sent3: animals adapt to their environment sent4: if something is one color during one time and another color during another time, then at something changes color sent5: when snow falls in an environment in an environment , that environment will become white sent6: an animal is a kind of organism sent7: some environments change color sent8: hiding means ability to be seen decreases for camouflage sent9: coloration means a thing 's color sent10: an arctic fox's fur is white in the winter sent11: when snow in an environment melts, that environment will become dark gray or brown sent12: color is a property of something that describes how that something looks sent13: snow melts during the summer in an arctic environment sent14: an arctic fox's fur is dark gray or brown in the summer sent15: adaptations are used for survival sent16: an organism 's environment affects that organism 's acquired characteristics sent17: if an animal 's fur is a color then that animal is that color sent18: to blend into something means to be less able to see in something sent19: camouflage is used for protection / hiding by prey / animals against predators / from predators sent20: hiding is a kind of protection against predators / from predators sent21: the color of an environment means the color of the things that environment contains sent22: adaptation is when an organism develops a trait over time for survival sent23: snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment sent24: an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment sent25: living in an environment causes an organism to adapt to that environment
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] color is a property of something that describes how that something looks [AND] an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment [INFER] int1: an example of camouflage is organism having the same color as its environment [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] some environments change color [INFER] int2: an example of camouflage is organism changing into the color of the environment [BECAUSE] an arctic fox is a kind of animal [AND] an animal is a kind of organism [INFER] int3: an arctic fox is a kind of organism [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int3 [INFER] int4: an example of camouflage is an arctic fox changing into the color of the environment [BECAUSE] an arctic fox's fur is white in the winter [AND] an arctic fox's fur is dark gray or brown in the summer [INFER] int5: an arctic fox's fur is dark grey or brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] if an animal 's fur is a color then that animal is that color [AND] an arctic fox is a kind of animal [INFER] int6: if an arctic fox's fur is a color then that arctic fox is that color [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] int6 [INFER] int7: an arctic fox is dark grey or brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] when snow in an environment melts, that environment will become dark gray or brown [AND] snow melts during the summer in an arctic environment [INFER] int8: an arctic environment is dark gray or brown in the summer [BECAUSE] snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment [AND] when snow falls in an environment in an environment , that environment will become white [INFER] int9: an arctic environment is white in the winter [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] int9 [INFER] int10: an arctic environment is dark gray or brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] int10 [AND] int7 [INFER] int11: an arctic fox and arctic environment are both dark gray or brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] int11 [AND] if something is one color during one time and another color during another time, then at something changes color [INFER] int12: an arctic fox and arctic environment are both change color to dark gray or brown in the summer and white in the winter [BECAUSE] int12 [AND] int4 [INFER] int13: an example of camouflage is an arctic fox changing into the color of an arctic environment in the summer and winter [BECAUSE] camouflage is used for protection / hiding by prey / animals against predators / from predators [AND] an arctic fox is a kind of animal [INFER] int14: camouflage is used for hiding by arctic foxes from predators [BECAUSE] int13 [AND] int14 [INFER] int15: changing into the color of an arctic environment in the summer and winter is used for hiding by arctic foxes [BECAUSE] to blend into something means to be less able to see in something [AND] hiding means ability to be seen decreases for camouflage [INFER] int16: to hide in something can mean to blend in with something [BECAUSE] int15 [AND] int16 [INFER] int17: changing into the color of an arctic environment in the summer and winter is used for blending in with an environment by arctic foxes
