The author is trying to convey that in recent years, the
extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased. He began
his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an
accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural
environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the
last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador,
the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed
by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole,
extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before
the coming of man.
Given that a function
g(d) = 600-50d
Here g is dependent variable and d independent variable
We have to interpret the term 50 in this situation.
g = 600-50d
600 represents the initial amount of water in the tank i.e. when d =0
Let us assume d changes by 1 day. say d+1
then new g = g' = 600-50(d+1) = 550-50d
i.e. whenever d increases by 1 unit, g decreases by 50 galons
Hence correct answer is
The volume of the tank decreases by 50 gal every day.

Explanation:
The theme of Anne Bradstreet's poem<em> " Before the Birth of One of Her Children"</em> is that people cannot avoid death, and should spend this valuable time on Earth in a best way possible.
At the time the poem was written, religion was very important. Christianity was, according to the settlers, superior to all other religions. It is, therefore, not surprising that the literature in the colonial era often contains religious references. These are also included in Bradstreet's poems, in which God is frequently referred to.
