Grade 4 Context Clues CCSS: CCRA.R.4, RI.4.4

THE Swan is a very beautiful bird. It is generally white, though a black swan has been discovered in Australia. It is not very often seen in this country. It was brought from Asia and Eastern Europe into England, from whence, most probably, a few specimens have been introduced into this country. The Swan is very graceful in the water, but on land it is an awkward waddler.

The word specimen, as used in the passage, most likely means...
  1. An individual bird or animal
  2. A specific group of birds or animals
  3. A certain type of swan
  4. An animal brought to the United States
