The etymology of the word "altruistic", can, of course, be found in Latin, as many words in the English language can. It originated from the Latin "alteri huic", which means "to this other". Then it traveled to Italian, became "altrui", meaning "somebody else", and then to French, became "altruisme", which then became the English "altruism", meaning "selflessness". Regarding the structure of the word "altruistic", seeing that it has the suffix -ic, it can be assumed that this is an adjective meaning "a person who has a quality of being altruistic, or selfless".
I feel like it's not, because google says that metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. It may be if something else was added to the sentence. But since there isn't anything else to it, it isn't because it does not match the description of a metaphor.

Answer:
B) die back as other larger plants begin to grow
Explanation:
The graphs which show ecological succession taking place after a disturbance, has the grasses and mosses represented by "2". The curve tagged 2 represents the growth path of grasses and mosses after the disturbance.
From the graphs, we can see that after the disturbance, the growth of mosses and grasses starts on bare rocks and increases steadily as the slope of the curve rises. The curve tagged "2" begins to slope downwards, indicating a steady decline in the growth of mosses and grasses as other larger plants begin to emerge.
Therefore, from the graphs, we can infer that mosses and grasses grow over bare rock, and then <em>die back as other larger plants begin to grow. </em>Some of the grasses and mosses still survive but their growth is reduced in the presence of other larger plants and fast growing trees as they are unable to compete for space, nutrient and sunlight with them.
