Correct answers:
- minerals that animals need to survive
- nutrients that help keep Earth’s plants

Explanation: the top layer of soil (topsoil) contains mineral particles, organic matter, water, air, and many living organisms. Those minerals and organic nutrients feed plants (and indirectly animals). While soil does contain microbes (some can be harmful), "dangerous germs" is not a defining feature, and soil is not a source of energy used to make electricity.
