Question

the ancient egyptians are famous for their mummies. they had an elaborate process for creating them, using chemicals and careful wrapping in strips of cloth. but in different parts of the world, mummies are sometimes made by nature.

natural mummies are made in bogs throughout europe. a bog is a wet area where dead moss, called peat, builds up. normally, oxygen and bacteria work together to break down dead animals and plants. however, peat blocks out oxygen and contains special chemicals that stop the growth of bacteria. this prevents anything left in a peat bog from decaying. thousands of remarkably preserved \bog bodies\ have been found in peat bogs.

bogs are swampy areas full of dead called peat. peat stops animals from growing. peat also out of bogs. as bodies es in bogs do not decay.
the bogs preserve the bodies.

drag-and-drop options: animals, moss, bodies

Explanation:

Based on the text about natural mummification in bogs, we match the correct terms to complete the blanks using the context provided (peat blocks oxygen, stops bacteria growth, prevents decay, preserves bodies).

1. Drag moss to the first blank: Bogs are swampy areas full of dead moss called peat.
2. Drag animals to the second blank: Peat stops animals from growing.
3. Drag bodies to the third blank: Peat also keeps bodies out of bogs. As bodies in bogs do not decay.
