*Question*
Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: The volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens certainly caused a lot of damage, didn't it? M: It did, but not as much as experts have predicted. It seems to have had a beneficial effect as well. W: Really? But were crop losses great? M: Yes, However, since the weather following the eruption was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remained steady or even increased beyond normal expectancy levels. W: I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned? M: A mass destruction of various insect populations. W: How could the ash kill insects without effecting people too?
