Questions 19-20 are based on the following passage. A recent assessment of the status of global amphibian populations identified habitat loss as the single greatest identifiable factorLine contributing to amphibian declines. Habitat (5) loss primarily results from the residential, agricultural, arboricultural, or recreational development of an area. Anthropogenic conversion of land has caused significant reductions in the wetland, (10) forest, and grassland habitat that amphibians require for their survival. Outright habitat loss probably has the greatest effect on amphibians, but habitat degradation, or the general decline in the health of a habitat, (15) often results from environmental contamina- tion, the introduction of exotic invasive species, or a reduction in required resources within a habitat, and similarly affects amphibians. Likewise, habitat fragmentation (20) (the disruption or fragmentation of habitat into discontinuous or isolated remnants of viable habitat) emerges from isolated patches of habitat loss and can often have delayed effects on animal populations. Directions: For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. In the course of the passage, the author does all of the following EXCEPT
A. define a term
B. cite an authority
C. state a probability
D. qualify a statement
E. make an assertion

A. The role of habitat loss in the decline of global amphibian populations is the subject of current evaluation.
B. Outright habitat loss causes less damage to amphibian populations than either habitat degradation or habitat fragmentation.
C. Introducing non-native species to an area may prove detrimental to the native animal populations.
