People do not really use music to charm snakes. Snakes have no ears, so the snake can't hear a flute. The snake charmer startles the snake by waving a hand near it. The snake lifts its head to look around. The charmer then says back and forth or moves the flute. The snake moves its head to keep an eye on the movement. This paragraph mainly tells:
why flute music charms snakes
why snakes can't hear sounds
how people really charm snakes
Weather reporters have to give out a lot of information. That's why they use pictures. The pictures help them tell us about the weather without using so many words. Weather reporters need to know where the cold air is. They need to know where the warm air is. They have to know where it is raining and what types of clouds are in the area. Their reports need to be correct, but they also need to be short. The pictures help weather reporters get the information out in a fast way.
Which sentence best describes the main idea of the paragraph?
Weather reporters need to know where the cold air is
Pictures help weather reporters get information out in a fast way
Their reports need to be correct, but they also need to be short
They have to know where it is raining and what types of clouds are in the area
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
The fact that the writer of the passage thinks that we can kill dolphins more easily than they can kill us ----.
means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
does not mean that we are superior to them
proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought

Endangered Species
One problem for animals is that their habitat is sometimes destroyed by humans. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed for people. Building areas for people to live pushed animals out of their natural homes. Forest and swamp habitats are the most threatened. Trees are cut down to make room for homes and businesses. Swamps are filled in so that neighborhoods can expand.
QUESTION 1
Find a word from the paragraph that has the same meaning as the natural home or environment for animals?
building
homes
habitat
neighborhood
Endangered Species
Today, some type of animals are an endangered species. This means there are very few animals of that kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. When animals die, they are gone forever.
What does the word 'they' refer to?
Species
Animals
Earth
Extinction
Endangered Species
Humans must prevent the extinction of animals due to the loss of their habitat. We have to become more aware of animal populations when considering building and expansion projects. Other options may not be as convenient, but the survival of the animals needs to be taken into consideration. Better planning and an awareness of how human actions affect animals can make a difference. It is still possible to maintain a diverse animal population for future generations to enjoy.
There are actions we can take to help prevent extinction from happening?
True
False
No information
