Question

The graph above was made by a South American biologist in the country of Brazil, after a long study on parrots. About 200 years ago, 90% of Brazil was covered in mature, deep forest. Today, well over half of this forest has been cut to make way for farms. What conclusion could you draw about the parrots in the graph?

A) Red parrots have become less common in the last 200 years.
B) There are probably less green parrots today than there once were. C) Blue parrots probably are the best adapted species to live on farms. D) The blue parrot population has likely increased in the last 200 years.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) There are probably less green parrots today than there once were.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows that most of the green parrots live in the deep forest region. The cutting of the deep forest would destroy their habitat and due to the lack of habitat the green parrots would eventually decrease.

As the question says, half of the deep forest is cut, so, the number of green parrots must be declined in that area.
