Answer 1

To answer your question, we need to identify the main idea presented in the first two paragraphs and see which option the third paragraph supports.

Without the actual text of those paragraphs, I can guide you on how to approach it. Typically, the first two paragraphs of an article might introduce a problem or outline the significance of a decline in butterfly populations in Ohio, while the third paragraph may provide supporting evidence or examples related to that idea.

If the first two paragraphs discuss the significance of the butterfly decline using data or statistics, then the idea supported by the third paragraph would likely be “The decline of Ohio’s butterflies has been captured through statistics and recorded data.”

If the first two paragraphs highlight the broader implications of this decline for insect populations generally, then the appropriate response might lean towards the conclusion about the complexities of addressing worldwide insect decline.

Based on what responses you have provided, to find the correct choice, ensure it relates closely to what is stated in the opening paragraphs. If you have that text available, I can assist you further in determining the correct connection!
