Question

Which sentence makes sense? And why? Thank you.
1  The oak trees in the Appalachians produce acorns after the rodents multiply.

2  The oak trees in the Appalachians produce acorns before the rodents multiply.

Answer

I think number 2 makes sense, because first the oak trees produce the food (acorns) and then the squirrels (rodents) eat the acorns and so can multiply. It just seems to make more sense. But there may be a zoologist somewhere around here who can answer for certain.
