Based on the characteristics of a grasshopper, the animal that likely belongs to the same group (arthropods) is a mosquito. Both grasshoppers and mosquitoes are insects, which are a class within the phylum Arthropoda. The other options (tapeworm, clam, and coral) do not belong to the arthropod group; tapeworms are flatworms, clams are mollusks, and corals are cnidarians.
