Question

If a drought reduces the amount of grass and other plants in the area, which species would have a competitive advantage and why? (1 point)
• Rabbits because they would have more variety of plants to eat and fewer competition.
• Foxes because the field mice would have fewer places to hide.
• Hawks because they would see more field mice and have less cover for themselves.
• Field mice because there would be more room to run from predators.

Answer 1

Foxes — with less grass and plant cover, field mice have fewer places to hide, so foxes can find and catch them more easily.
