fossil fuels have great worth because they provide a critical energy source for society.
all animal lives are inherently valuable, no matter whether or how society utilizes them.
preventing soil erosion is important because erosion disrupts the natural cycle of nutrients in the ecosystem.

Explanation:

• Anthropocentric: Focuses on human value/benefit. The statement about fossil fuels providing energy for society is human - centered, so it belongs here.
• Biocentric: Values all living things (animals here) inherently, regardless of human use. The statement about animal lives being valuable fits this.
• Ecocentric: Focuses on the ecosystem as a whole. Preventing soil erosion to maintain the nutrient cycle in the ecosystem is ecosystem - centered.

Answer:

• Anthropocentric: Fossil fuels have great worth because they provide a critical energy source for society.
• Biocentric: All animal lives are inherently valuable, no matter whether or how society utilizes them.
• Ecocentric: Preventing soil erosion is important because erosion disrupts the natural cycle of nutrients in the ecosystem.
