Read the following sentences: “Say a particular species of freshwater frog dies because its habitat has been depleted in a drought. This means the population of birds that feeds on this frog may decline as well, as it lacks sufficient food. Conversely, the insects that the frogs fed on may increase in number, as the frogs are no longer around to keep their population in check.”

What does the word “conversely” mean?

A. in the same vein

B. for this reason

C. as an example

D. on the other hand

Im pretty sure that it's D. On the other hand.

I know that conversely means things like "Hey, but on a side note-" and so on. So try it and see if its correct.

the answer is D

Explanation:

the word Conversely means, by definition, "introducing a statement or idea which reverses one that has just been made or referred to" so it's the reverse of whatever the original statement is

sheep is a herbivore animal whereas grasshopper belongs to the class chordates but both of them feed on greens.  

if grasshopper and sheep feeding on a pasture land, i do not think both of them will have any impact on each other. however, the number of the species can make difference. since sheep feed on greens, there is a possibility there left no pasture land for the grasshoppers or they may get extinct.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
