Question

Environments are covered with manmade structures like roads, buildings, and sewers. Green spaces such as parks, backyards, and undeveloped lots are scattered in among the developed areas instead of all connected together. Plants and animals have to deal with exposure to toxins from vehicles and loss of habitat and food sources. These are all ways that _______. a. humans have intervened to both manage and manipulate the environment to ensure species survival b. nonhuman life in an urban ecosystem differs from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem c. cities have been developed to keep wildlife out of public areas d. humans have impacted the environment and caused wildlife species to become domesticated

Answer 1

By logical deduction, I concluded that the answer would be D.  Humans are simply making animals apart of their family whether it be because their children want a pet or because of loneliness.  Therefore, we domesticate these wildlife creatures and bring them into our homes. Now, I had trouble deciding between A and D. We are manipulating and managing environments to make sure species survive, but which species are they directly speaking of? Ours or theirs? So I decided it was theirs and I suppose that a zoo is created as well as habitats, to keep certain species from being endangered. I truly think it D but you can be the judge of that. Good Luck.
