Endangered Species

One problem for animals is that their habitat is sometimes destroyed by humans. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed for people. Building areas for people to live pushed animals out of their natural homes. Forest and swamp habitats are the most threatened. Trees are cut down to make room for homes and businesses. Swamps are filled in so that neighborhoods can expand.

QUESTION 1

Find a word from the paragraph that has the same meaning as the natural home or environment for animals?

• building

• homes

• habitat

• neighborhood
