Use the excerpt from “Butterflies are disappearing in Ohio. Here’s what that means for insects everywhere” to answer the question. Why does the author talk about windshields in the last paragraph? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses to offer evidence that insect populations have declined to offer evidence that insect populations have declined to dispute a claim from paragraph 2 to dispute a claim from paragraph 2 to refer to an idea from paragraph 1 to refer to an idea from paragraph 1 to suggest that people cannot trust news sources to suggest that people cannot trust news sources to argue that there is too little known about insect populations to argue that there is too little known about insect populations

Answer 1

The correct responses are:

1. to offer evidence that insect populations have declined
2. to dispute a claim from paragraph 2

These choices indicate that the mention of windshields serves as a specific example to illustrate the decline of insects and counters any claims suggesting that insect populations are stable or healthy.
