Question

Read the passage below and think about conclusions you can draw from the facts:

The famous koalas of Australia live in forests and eat only eucalyptus leaves. But the increased heat and carbon dioxide levels of global warming are changing the leaves. In affected areas, the leaves are actually becoming less nutritious, so koalas will have to search for additional food—and much of their habitat has already been destroyed. Although climate change is not the only threat facing koalas, it is helping to push this fragile species further into decline.

Based on this passage, what is most likely to be true?

Koalas soon won’t notice the less nutritious leaves.

Koalas are going to find another food they like.

Koalas are not a strong species of animal.

Koalas may become endangered if the trend continues.

Answer 1

Based on the passage, the most likely conclusion to draw is:

**Koalas may become endangered if the trend continues.**

The passage discusses how climate change is affecting koalas' food source, making eucalyptus leaves less nutritious and pushing the species further into decline. This suggests that if the current trends continue, koalas could face greater risks of endangerment.
