How to approach this question
Recall the levels of the Linnaean classification system: "King Prawn Curry Or Fat Greasy Sausages". The table shows Family and then Species. Identify the level that fits in between these two.
Full Answer
B.Genus✓ Correct
The Linnaean system classifies organisms into a hierarchy of groups called taxa. The main levels, from broadest to most specific, are: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. The table has a blank space between Family and Species. The missing level is Genus. For Trilobite A, the genus is *Elrathia* and the species is *kingii*.
Common mistakes
✗ Choosing a level that is higher up in the hierarchy, like Kingdom or Class.
✗ Choosing a term that is not part of the classification hierarchy, like Community or Population.
