vocabulary application
use the definitions from above to answer the questions below

1. which might annihilate a bird species, a severe virus or a tasty plant?

________

1. would ocean waves or broken glass be more likely to undulate?

________

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine which (severe virus or tasty plant) might annihilate a bird species, we use the definition of "annihilate" (to completely destroy/wipe out). A severe virus can cause mass death in a bird species, while a tasty plant would likely be a food source, not a destroyer.

Using the definition of "undulate" (move in a smooth, wave - like motion), ocean waves naturally move in a smooth, wave - like way. Broken glass is rigid and does not move in a wave - like motion.

Answer:

a severe virus
