Based On These Titles, Which Text Is Most Likely Mean To Entertain? ( _)>- (2024)

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit. We want to make sure they are healthy enough to be put into their enclosure," she said. Just then, a zoo employee brought in the two tamarins, and Ryan immediately understood why they were called cotton-top tamarins. They had white tufts of hair on top of their heads. The zoo employee told Ryan and his mom that these two tamarins were the first of many to come to the zoo. If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

It took Ryan's mother 30 minutes to check each tamarin. He held his breath the whole time, worried that she might find something wrong. She wanted to make sure they both had thorough examinations. Finally, after an hour, she gave them both the all clear, and Ryan finally exhaled.

When he reached his driveway, a huge smile spread across his face, and his shoulders finally relaxed. He hadn't realized that his body had been so tense during the entire drive. He put the car in park and turned off the engine with a huge sigh. He was glad to be able to visit with old friends, but the drive home was not enjoyable at all. Next time, he would be sure to check the forecast ahead of time and leave before the weather got bad.

When you think of the ocean, what do you picture? Do you imagine sparkling blue waters and shimmering schools of fish? Or do you think of immense patches of plastic waste drifting across an area twice the size of the continental United States? Both of these pictures are the truth. Marine pollution poses a serious threat to marine life and habitats, and even to humans. However, people are tackling the problem with efforts at cleanup and, more importantly, prevention.

Causes and Types of Marine Pollution

Marine pollution comes from many sources, such as oil and chemicals that are spilled in accidents at sea. In addition, rain washes fertilizers from fields into rivers and streams that feed into the ocean, and sewage drains into waterways. Finally, wind and natural disasters scatter trash into the ocean.

This last type of litter is often referred to as marine debris, and it is one of the greatest threats to marine ecosystems. Once marine debris reaches the ocean, it is picked up and carried along by currents. Currents are the movement of the water in a particular direction, driven by tides or wind.

The most common type of marine debris is plastic. This is because humans make and use a lot of it, and because plastic can float. Additionally, many kinds of plastic do not biodegrade, or naturally break down, in water. Instead, they fall apart into microplastics, pieces that are too small to see easily. They are then carried along with the currents, like all of the other marine debris.

Garbage Patches

In some parts of the ocean, currents form large, rotating systems called gyres. Debris becomes trapped and begins to accumulate. This is especially true in the Pacific Ocean, where the currents have created what some people call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. In this area, scientists have found as many as 1.9 million pieces of debris in a square mile.

Some experts think the term “garbage patch” is inaccurate because it implies that the trash forms an island. Instead, these “patches” are regions with high levels of very small pieces of debris. They are constantly moving and cannot be seen by satellites. Therefore, it is hard to tell exactly how large these regions are.

Wind and wave patterns cause tiny plastic debris to concentrate in huge areas sometimes called “garbage patches."
Effects of Marine Pollution

Larger pieces of marine debris also have significant negative effects on the ocean environment. Fish, birds, and turtles become tangled in plastic bags. Also, fishing boats leave behind traps, nets, and lines that can catch fish and other animals.

Cleaning Up the Seas

Finding a solution to the marine debris problem has been a challenge. The debris is hard to see and hard to track. Scooping it off the ocean surface is difficult for many reasons. First of all, the process is time-consuming because the polluted areas are so large. Also, when trash is skimmed off the surface, microscopic sea creatures become trapped with the debris. Furthermore, larger items that sink to the bottom are out of reach.

However, prevention can help. Dianne Sherman of the International Coastal Cleanup estimates that “50 to 80 percent of what ends up in the ocean starts out on land.” As a result, many organizations focus on cleaning up the debris before it reaches the water. This includes removing trash from beaches and cleaning up after natural disasters such as hurricanes.

Marine pollution has already affected countless species. This much is clear: doing nothing is not an option. Despite the size of the problem, we can all help. We must stop littering. We must support the organizations that study marine pollution. And finally, we must work to decrease the amount of waste we produce. These efforts may not undo the damage that has been done, but they could bring a future of cleaner waters.

What is the thesis, or central idea, of this article? How does it influence the author’s choice of organizational strategy?

A
“Marine pollution comes from many sources”; this thesis calls for comparing and contrasting the different forms of pollution.

B
“Finding a solution to the problem of pollution is a challenge”; this thesis calls for comparing and contrasting different cleanup methods to figure out the best one.

C
“Marine pollution poses a serious threat to marine life and habitats and even to humans”; this thesis calls for a discussion of a cause, marine pollution, and its effects, threats to animals and humans.

D
“People are tackling the problem with efforts at cleanup and, more importantly, prevention”; this thesis calls for a discussion of a cause, cleanup efforts, and the effects, preventing further pollution.

The answer is B. The auther clearly states that finding a solution is hard and talks about different ways we can minimize littering.

It was time for Ryan's mom to examine the tamarins, so they headed to the Primate Discovery Center. They walked into the veterinarian's room so that his mother could examine the tamarins. The public wasn't allowed to see them until Ryan's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy. The room was white, very sterile, and looked like an operating room that you would see on TV. Ryan's eyes widened and a look of uneasiness crossed his face. He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit. We want to make sure they are healthy enough to be put into their enclosure," she said.

Read the excerpt from the story Winter Driving.

As he came around a bend in the road, he could feel his tires slip and slide on the ice. But the ice wasn't his only problem. His eyes grew wide when he saw a small hill straight ahead. He scrunched his eyebrows as he concentrated on staying on the road. He worried for a minute since he was driving slowly and the ice on the road might prevent him from making it up the hill. He drove slowly until he got to the base of the hill. He started making his way up, but it wasn't long before his tires started to spin on the ice. He continued, slow and steady, squeezing the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.

Eventually, Jesper made it to the top of the hill. Phew, he thought. He pulled over so that he could release the steering wheel from his tight grasp. He squeezed his hands into fists a few times to get the blood flowing through his fingers once again. He took a few breaths and continued driving. The snow was still falling, and he knew he definitely didn't want to get stuck sleeping in his car. He had come this far, and he was determined to make it all the way home.

Select the evidence that shows the difference in what helps the characters in Animals in the Zoo and Winter Driving overcome their fear.

a
In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan learns that it's everyone's responsibility to help endangered animals. In Winter Driving, Jesper gets home safely.

b
In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan smiles during the entire zoo tour. In Winter Driving, Jesper laughs at the people who are scared to drive in the snow.

c
In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan takes comfort in visiting all the interesting animals at the zoo. In Winter Driving, Jesper watches the road closely and drives slowly.

d
In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan's mother assures him that they aren't going to operate. In Winter Driving, Jesper pulls his car over, flexes his hands, and takes a few breaths.

D the reason for this is it shows how they overcame there fears and what helped them

1. People do not have to let their health conditions define them
2. People need to advocate for themselves to cope with Celiac disease by being proactive

Read the excerpt from “How I Learned English.”

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O’Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.

And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
Of Williamsport, Pa. and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed.

Which detail from this excerpt helps readers determine that the poem is written from a first-person point of view?

A. the description of the speaker as “unnatural”
B. the description of the boys “talking it up”
C. the use of the words “I” and “my”
D. the use of the words “his” and “them”

C, first person uses I

Like the person above me said, it is C. Anytime it’s asking if it’s in first person. Ask yourself “What point of view says I or my?” But to refresh yourself. The point of views are and what phrases they use to help you know that they’re in that point of view. First person: I, my, me, and myself. Second point of view: You. Third point of view: He, she, they, their, and they’re.

Which activity is a method of habitat restoration?

cleaning up after environmental disasters
allowing trees to grow naturally
farming techniques like terrace farming and tree belts
creating a reservoir to prevent flooding

C. It’s the most detailed explanation and therefore would be the best option to add in the report.

The first one is right (I think)
Second is wounded

Third one is wounded second is cost one is right and the forth is supplanted authority

1.) A claim is...

The analysis that shows how you came to your claim.

The point or thesis of an argument, an opinion statement.

The conclusion of your argument.

The evidence that supports your opinion.

A claim is the point or thesis of an argument, an opinion statement.

It is a simile because it has an as in the sentence

This is actually an example of “personfication.” This is not a simile because it is not comparing unlikely things to eachother, DAKOTAH4573 is wrong. I know this because they are personifying the fate by saying it has blundered over her, but only humans can blunder over something for example, personification can be like: “The sun kissed my face, the warm feeling was comfortable.” Can a sun really kiss you? No way, only a human can do that, so you are “personifying” the sun :).

Which definition of implications BEST defines the use of the word in the sentence?

She shuddered at the terrible implications of the choices made by those in the truck.

a logical conclusion
a likely consequence
the action of being involved
the act of making a conclusion
