When carter first moved into his neighborhood, he noticed hundreds of frogs on the roads after a rain storm. lately, carter has seen less than four or five frogs on his five-minute drive through the neighborhood. which of the recent events is a reasonable conclusion based on carter's observations? a drought has impacted the population size of the frogs. a new housing development has led to extinction of the frogs. the beginning of the winter has created temperatures too cold for the frogs. increasingly warm temperatures have dried the skin of the frogs leading to death.

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
