Nida draws a diagram with insects, birds, and mice. She shows the mice eating grass; hawks, snakes, and toads eating the insects; and foxes, hawks, and snakes eating the birds and mice. The snakes are also eating the toads. Which best describes the diagram?

The diagram shows many connected feeding relationships: for example, hawks eat insects, birds, and mice, while snakes eat insects, birds, mice, and toads. A set of interconnected food chains is called a food web, so “food web” is the best description.
