for food. And they depend completely on a plant called milkweed {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(lay) their eggs.
But monarchs have been facing
growing problems for years. As more and more wild land has been turned into large
farms, the monarchs have had trouble {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(find) enough milkweed. Many farms also
use chemicals {#blank#}7{#/blank#} will kill insects in order to protect their plants.

than it used to be.

be in danger of dying out in the next 20 years if nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(do) to save them.
