WOOHOO! thanks Ms. Sue I'm getting some work done ! onto the next question :)
Yes, your answer is correct! The major advantage provided by worms to a lawn is cultivating the soil (option 5).
To explain how to arrive at this answer, let's analyze each option:
1. Attracting birds: While worms can be a food source for birds, attracting birds is not a major advantage provided by worms to a lawn.
2. Protecting moles: Worms are not known for protecting moles. In fact, moles often feed on worms as a food source.
3. Breaking rocks: Worms do not actively break rocks. They inhabit the soil and contribute to its structure but are not responsible for breaking rocks.
4. Eating weeds: While worms consume organic matter, including dead plant material, they do not specifically target weeds as their primary food source.
5. Cultivating soil: Worms play a significant role in soil health. As they burrow through the soil, they create channels and passages, which improve aeration and drainage. Additionally, their castings (worm excrement) add organic matter to the soil, enhancing its fertility and nutrient content. These activities contribute to the overall cultivation of the soil, making it more conducive to plant growth.
Therefore, option 5, cultivating soil, is the major advantage provided by worms to a lawn.
