Don’t have the prompt so how am I supposed to answer? Can you put a picture of the story/ article please so I can help?
"Marigolds" takes place in a rural African-Amercian community during the 1930s. While reading the story you can see how the setting influences the narrator's experiences and the conflicts she faces. The last two sentences develop the idea that the narrator is learning the importance of understanding what makes a person unique: " For one does not have to be ignorant and poor to find that one’s life is barren as the dusty yards of one’s town. And I too have planted marigolds". You have to accept things as they are, without thought or question.

Answer:
Your answer would be "Due to increasing human activity in the state of Arizona, many species have lost their habitats."
Explanation:
In the first paragraph of the text, we can read that amphibian and reptile populations are constantly declining. Leonardo Dolmage, an activist from Arizona, has been doing research about how humans affect and impact the environment.
In the second paragraph of the text, the author explains that though there are many positives to outdoor activities, there are also negatives. The negatives are that the increasing human activity in Arizona has caused many species to lose their habitats.
The last paragraphs concludes that many enjoy outdoor activities but few are aware of how their activities impact the environment.
Thus being, your answer is the second option because due to increasing human activity in Arizona, many species have lost their habitats.
