I need help plzzzz A) Wells, Maine, has been trying an experiment the past five years. B) The citizens have been attempting to control their mosquito problem with dragonflies rather than spraying with pesticide. C) Some authorities doubt that the dragonflies can be effective; though each dragonfly can eat 100 mosquitoes a day, a population in the thousands is not likely to control a mosquito population in the millions. D) Other detractors claim that dragonflies patrol the roadways to consume mosquitoes stirred up in the nearby tall grass, yet the cars kill the dragonflies. E) However, each year many citizens continue to buy dragonflies. They claim that they are completely rid of mosquitoes.QuestionWhat is the author's attitude towards this method of controlling mosquitoes?

Answer:

Neutral

Step-by-step explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • In favor
  • Opposed
  • Neutral
  • Amused

The author's attitude towards the said method of controlling mosquitoes can be described as neutral. He is simply stating facts: how the city is battling a mosquito situation and using different methods to deal with it. He doesn't say that he does (like some citizens) or doesn't believe (like the authorities) that the dragonflies will solve the problem. That's why we can't say that he is in favor of or opposed to this method. His tone is neutral and objective, so we can't say that he is amused, either.

Thus, the correct option is the third one.
