Answer 1

I disagree with 1 and agree with 3.

1. Read your choices carefully.

i think its the second one since protecting older/bigger trees take up space
or am i thinking backwards???

Answer 3

I haven't read this article, but doesn't the author want to thin the forest to help prevent forest fires?

Answer 4

People who clear forests seldom worry about which are older and which aren't. Here's a good example:
