The ability of humans to ___________ the landscape and recognize the consequences of doing so puts us in a peculiar position. There are several animals on earth that show this same kind of intelligence. Some animals have extensions to ___________ their environment and some do not. As a species we are assigned the duty to provide and proliferate. Our goal is to achieve stability for ourselves and our kin. However, we also have an obligation to maintain the environment, as we depend on the resources and services it provides. The question then becomes:
what is our role in nature? Do we have the right to _________ the land, factory farm animals, and pollute waterways? Or do we have an obligation to reduce our numbers and merely subsist? In order to answer these questions, we must rely on our knowledge of Earth, evolution, and our influence on the environment.

C) Employ D) Operate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

‘Aspects’ mean a particular part or feature of something. ‘Pollutants’ mean a substance that pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere. ‘Employ’ means give work to (someone) and pay them for it. ‘Operate’ means (of a person) control the functioning of (a machine, process, or system). ‘Manipulate’ means control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly or unscrupulously.
