Question

Which details from the city without us most clearly shows that nature is more powerful than it appears?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The Bronx squirrels that eat nearly all of the trees' acorn in the New York Botanical Garden.

Explanation:

The City Without Us is a chapter of the book The World Without Us written by American journalist Alan Weisman. It tells about what would happen to the natural and built environment if humans suddenly disappeared.

The City Without Us gives us an image of what New York would look like without humans. Some of the details are presented in the options you were given.

It's expected that wild animals, wolves included, would enter the city if there were no humans. That's how nature works.

Money is a concept invented by the man, and it has no meaning if humans don't exist. It has nothing to do with nature.

The ocean is a large force and it's one of the obvious proofs of how powerful nature is. In the story, though, it has not yet broken the levees around New York City.

What remains are the squirrels. No one would think that squirrels could do something major. Without anyone or anything controlling their population, though, they could eat nearly every acorn in the New York Botanical Garden, thus preventing them from growing into new oaks. That way they would reduce the oak tree population in New York. They show that nature is even more powerful than it appears.
