Worked Solution

Step 1: Identify the producer. Producers are green plants that make their own food (Paddy plant). Step 2: Identify predators and prey. A predator eats other animals; a prey is eaten by other animals. Step 3: In this chain, the Sparrow eats the grasshopper (predator) and is eaten by the eagle (prey). Step 4: Therefore, the Sparrow is both.

Correct answer: Producer: Paddy plant; Both: Sparrow
