The answer is the second one: overpopulation.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Structural adaptation: This refers to physical features of an organism that enhance its survival or reproduction. The scenario described does not involve any physical changes or adaptations in the frog.

  2. Overpopulation: This occurs when a species produces more offspring than the environment can support with available resources. The scenario directly describes a situation where a frog has more offspring than can survive due to limited resources, which is a classic example of overpopulation.

  3. Variation in a population: This refers to differences among individuals within a species. While variation is important for natural selection, the scenario does not mention differences among the frog offspring.

  4. Artificial selection: This is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic traits. The scenario does not involve human intervention or selective breeding.

In summary, the situation described is an example of overpopulation, where the number of offspring exceeds the capacity of the environment to support them.

Which two details are most important to include in a summary of the paragraph? excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelly Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little prouc when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services.
