common core standard ri.3 relationship between ideas
what caused the number of wild turkeys to go down?
they competed for food with other animals.
too many of them were hunted for food.
these animals became extinct naturally.

Explanation:

Wild turkey populations historically declined primarily due to unregulated overhunting for their meat, as well as habitat loss. While competition can affect local populations, overhunting was the major human-driven cause of their reduced numbers (they did not go extinct naturally).

Answer:

Too many of them were hunted for food.
