Look at the word eradicated in the passage below.
Blinking in the bright April sunlight, Natalie stood with her father in the backyard of their new house. Dandelions grew everywhere in thick clumps, their spiked leaves woven with the dead stems of plants that the weeds had crowded out.
"They've got to go," her father said, his arms folded across his chest. "What an eyesore."
"But dandelions feed the honeybees," Natalie pointed out.
Her father smiled. "We'll figure something out."
A few weeks after the dandelions were eradicated— sprayed with weed killer and ripped from the ground— Natalie and her father set to work in a corner of the lawn. With the early spring sun on her back, she spent an entire day planting clover seeds that in a few months would reveal bright white, pink, and purple flowers. Brushing sweat from her forehead, she paused to imagine the multicolored quilt of flowers that awaited her. Soon, Natalie hoped, the bees would return.
