Question

what is the meaning of the foreign expression in bold?
over short distances, a european songbird can travel faster than the silver y moth. when it comes to long - distance migration, however—whether from northern europe to africa as they head south in the winter or vice versa as they return during spring—the moths keep pace.
options:
conversely or the other way around
in a different order
repetitiously

Explanation:

The phrase "vice versa" is used to indicate that the reverse of the previously stated relationship or action is also true. In the context, it means the migration direction can be reversed: from Africa to northern Europe in spring, which is the opposite of the winter southward trip. This matches the definition "conversely or the other way around".

Answer:

conversely or the other way around
