Question 10 of 12
Read this passage from "The City Without Us" by Alan Weisman:
As if that weren't enough, as the NYBG forest became an
island of greenery surrounded by hundreds of square miles
of gray urbanity, it became the primary refuge for Bronx
squirrels. With natural predators gone and no hunting
permitted, there's nothing to stop them from devouring
every acorn or hickory nut before it can germinate. Which
they do.
Which statement best explains how the structure of the passage supports the
author's purpose?
A. The passage shows that natural forces such as an absence of
predators and an increase in the squirrel population can lead to
destructive results.
B. The passage shows that natural forces such as an absence of
predators and human hunters can lead to the reforestation of New
York City.
C. The passage traces several events in the order that they will occur
to highlight how nature conquers human civilization.
D. The passage identifies how two natural forces are co-dependent -
the deforestation of New York and the extinction of squirrels.
