Question

An area of shallow water, surrounded by grassy plants.
While out bird-watching, Samantha took this picture. She was in an area of shallow water, surrounded by grassy plants. She saw a variety of animals, including birds, fish, and frogs.

Which type of wetland was Samantha most likely in?

swamp
marsh
mangrove forest
bog

Answer 1

Marsh

Reason: Marshes are shallow wetlands dominated by grasses, sedges, and reeds and commonly support birds, fish, and frogs. (Swamps are tree-dominated, mangrove forests are coastal with mangrove trees, and bogs are acidic peatlands dominated by mosses.)
