This is a rainforest because there is too much precipitation for plant and animal life to thrive.

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the evidence indicates the following environment:

This is a desert because there is little precipitation for plant and animal life to thrive.

Explanation:

According to the evidence, this environment is scarce in plant and animal life. Among the options given, the best ones would be tundra and desert. However, the option concerning the tundra has a crucial mistake that makes it incorrect.

According to it, a tundra "is too hot for plant and animal to live in." However, a tundra is is an extremely cold biome consisting of snow-covered lands. The tundra is, in other words, like a cold desert. Both environments have little precipitation, which makes it harder for plant and animal life to thrive.

Since that option makes such a mistake, we can easily choose the one about the desert as the correct one: This is a desert because there is little precipitation for plant and animal life to thrive.
