1). The Miconia plant is not a native plant to Hawaii. Since its introduction into Hawaii 40 years ago, it has become a popular decorative plant. However, this shallow-rooted plant has replaced many of the native deep-rooted plant species and increased the likelihood of landslides on the island. Which is one of the BEST methods of dealing with this invasive plant?

A) The plant should be shared with the smaller islands.

B) The plant should be fed to the native livestock on the island.

C) The plant should be uprooted from all regions in the island.

D) The plant should be cross-bred with deeper-rooted plants.


2). In the Everglades, a system of canals and levees diverts water to urban areas and the Everglades National Park. This water management system has caused changes in the natural flow of the water during the wet and dry season. Wading birds are especially sensitive to wet and dry seasonal changes. How have water cycle disruptions MOST likely affected wading birds?

A) The reduced salinity results in more eggs being laid.

B) The water quality for feeding has been improved by runoff.

C) The release of water dilutes food sources for their young.

D) The higher water levels allow longer-legged birds to survive and reproduce.


3). In Florida, humans have caused more than 2,000 manatee deaths since 1974. Collisions with boats and boat propellers cause roughly twenty-five percent of all manatee deaths. Another significant cause of the declining population is the disappearance of manatee habitats, resulting primarily from coastal development, water quality problems, and the change in water levels caused by Florida’s flood control systems. A constitutional amendment has been proposed that would protect natural systems and biological diversity. Which would be the MOST likely requirement of a constitutional amendment to protect the manatee population?

A) moving manatees to locations outside of the Everglades

B) restricting manatee hunting in the Everglades to certain times of year

C) raising more manatees in captivity

D) placing a limit on speedboat use in manatee habitats
