Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Dragonflies are remarkable fliers, but the numbers in this statement are inaccurate. Dragonflies flap their wings around 30-40 times per second (not 28), and their top speed is approximately 30-35 mph (not 60 mph). While impressive, the exaggerated figures make the statement false.
