,In "Raccoon Olympics," why is the park naturalist trapping raccoons?

Question 1 options:

to control the raccoon population on Rock Island


to deliver sick raccoons to a veterinarian


to keep them safe from the narrator and her father


to keep them as pets at his cabin in the park

Respuesta :

The park naturalist is trapping racoons to control the raccoon population on Rock Island.

In the short story, "Racoon Olympics," Paul, who is the park naturalist, traps racoons and removes them from Rock Island so that the racoon population would not get so large that it threatens the sustainability of Rock Island.

The other options are wrong because:

  • Paul does not deliver sick racoons to the vet but rather culls them
  • Paul removes the racoons to protect the ecosystem of Rock island not the narrator and her father
  • Paul does not keep the racoons as pets

In conclusion, the park naturalist traps and removes racoons so that their population will not get out of control.
