TYRNA, India (Achieve3000, May 25, 2022). It's morning in the mountains of India. Farmers walk across a bridge, followed by a family. The bridge is the only way to get to their rice fields or the next town. Though the bridge is 400 years old, it's still in great shape. In fact, it's becoming stronger every day. That's because it's growing.

I infer that the bridge described in the article is made of living roots and branches because the text says that it is growing and becoming stronger every day, and I know that living plants can continue to grow and strengthen over time.

How does the image of the living bridge in the article compare to your mental image of the root bridge? What was the same, and what was different? Type your answer in the text box. Click SUBMIT when you are done.

The image of the living bridge in the article compares to my mental image of the root bridge in that both are made of living roots and branches that grow and strengthen over time. However, the difference between the two is that the living bridge described in the article is specifically mentioned to be in India, while the root bridge is usually associated with the northeastern state of Meghalaya in India.
