Question

Answer the question below based on the paragraph:

I just went to a city planning meeting and learned that the city plans to build a hotel in the very spot I have discovered the new species! The hotel contractors also plan to remove the majority of the flowering plants and introduce a new fern to minimize allergies of guests!

How might the building of the hotel affect the population of the new species?

Answer 1

The hotel building process will result in population decline of the new species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Removing vegetation in the area would diminish the habitat of the new species and/ or reduce the food sources for the new species. The new species would thus be unable to survive without a living environment in which they could feed on or hide from predators, therefore resulting in the inevitable decline in the new species population.
