E(v), (i), (iii), (iv), (ii)
Answer
Correct Answer: (v), (iii), (i), (iv), (ii)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This is another trophic-level ordering problem, identical in structure to a standard meadow chain.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- (v) Grass: producer.
- (iii) Grasshopper: primary consumer.
- (i) Frog: secondary consumer.
- (iv) Snake: tertiary consumer.
- (ii) Eagle: apex predator.
Concept / Approach:Strictly increase trophic level each step.
Step-by-Step Solution:1) v → 2) iii → 3) i → 4) iv → 5) ii.
Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check with ecological roles for each organism.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Options that place consumers before producers or invert predator–prey relationships fail trophic logic.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing a food web with a single linear chain.
Final Answer:(v), (iii), (i), (iv), (ii)
