B. The Rocky Mountain locusts were more widespread.
I know the other person explained really well but I just wanted to double check with ya'll.
Thanks for the points! :)
The correct answer concerning the grasshoppers and the locusts is option B, "The Rocky Mountain locusts were more widespread," as seen below.
The comparison in the question is between the grasshoppers in North America today and the Rocky Mountain locusts in the 1800s. Option B accurately captures this difference. In the 1800s, the Rocky Mountain locusts were infamous for their unprecedented and devastating swarms that could cover vast areas, causing widespread agricultural damage.
On the other hand, today's grasshoppers, while potentially causing destruction as mentioned in option A, do not exhibit the same level of widespread devastation that the Rocky Mountain locusts did in the 1800s. Option B clearly highlights the difference in the extent of the locusts' presence between the two time periods, making it the correct choice.
