(take out spaces)
a. favorable environmental conditions can cause a population to increase slowly at first and then rapidly
b.favorable environmental conditions enable an equilibrium to be reached between preadtor and prey
c. a decrease in one population is accompanied bu an increase in another
d. snowshoe hares are at the bottom of the pyramid of energy
e. the only source of food for lynx is hares
Is it c?
2. which is an accurate statement of the events that occured between 1910 and 1940
a. an increase in the hare population was accompanied by an increase in the lynx population
c. the lynx population decrease due to a change in the abiotic factors in the environment
d. the slow increase in the hare population between 1910 and 1915 was primarily due to intraspecific competition
e. the probability is that both populations will be reduced to small numbers
I don't know this one at all. please help

Assistance needed.
C. is not the answer for the first question. It looks to me like the lynx and hare populations tend to rise and fall together.
The graph gives no reasons for the rise and decline of these populations. Nor does it indicate anything about the future. So -- that leaves only one correct answer.
What do you think these answers are now?
is the first one b and the second one d?
The first is b.
Why do you think the graph predicts the future? What do you see in the graph that indicates that both populations will decrease?
To answer both of your questions, we need to analyze the given information.
1. Regarding the graph you provided, without being able to see it, it is difficult to provide a specific answer. However, I can try to explain the options to help you determine the correct one.
a. This option suggests that favorable environmental conditions can cause a population to increase slowly at first and then rapidly. This pattern is often observed in populations that initially have limited resources or face challenges, but then experience a period of growth due to improved conditions. Look for evidence of a slow increase followed by a rapid increase in the graph.
b. This option states that favorable environmental conditions enable an equilibrium to be reached between predator and prey. Look for evidence of a stable relationship between the populations of predator and prey in the graph.
c. This option suggests that a decrease in one population is accompanied by an increase in another. Look for evidence of an inverse relationship between the populations in the graph.
d. This option implies that snowshoe hares are at the bottom of the pyramid of energy. The energy pyramid describes the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. Look for evidence in the graph that supports the hierarchical positioning of snowshoe hares.
e. This option claims that the only source of food for lynx is hares. Look for evidence that supports the dependency of lynx on hares as the primary food source.
Without being able to see the graph, I cannot definitively tell you which option is correct. However, by carefully analyzing the graph based on the descriptions provided, you may be able to identify the correct answer.
2. The question related to events from 1910 to 1940 is asking for an accurate statement based on the given time frame. Let's examine the options:
a. This option suggests that an increase in the hare population was accompanied by an increase in the lynx population. Check if the graph or the information you have supports this relationship between the populations.
c. This option claims that the lynx population decreased due to a change in abiotic factors in the environment. Abiotic factors refer to non-living components, such as temperature or rainfall, that can influence the environment. Consider if there is evidence that such factors affected the lynx population.
d. This option states that the slow increase in the hare population between 1910 and 1915 was primarily due to intraspecific competition. Intraspecific competition refers to competition among individuals of the same species. Analyze if the graph or information indicates intraspecific competition as a cause of the hare population increase.
e. This option suggests that both populations will be reduced to small numbers, indicating a potential decline for both hares and lynx. Check if the graph or information indicates a trend toward reduced populations for both species.
Based on the information you provided, it is difficult to definitively determine which option is correct for the events between 1910 and 1940. Analyze the graph or any available information to determine the most accurate statement.
