Question

reread the part of the passage in the box. complete the sentences to explain what happened when farmers \drastically altered\ the breeding zones of the rocky mountain locusts. the farmers dropdown the breeding grounds of the locusts. they accidentally dropdown the species. dropdown options for first blank: destroyed, avoided, identified. dropdown options for second blank: (not fully visible but context suggests related to species impact)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: "drastically altered" the breeding zones implies a significant change. "Destroyed" fits as altering breeding zones by farmers (e.g., through land use changes) could destroy the locusts' breeding grounds, leading to affecting the species. "Avoided" and "identified" don't match the idea of altering the zones in a way that impacts the species.

Answer:

destroyed
