The following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 62 to 68. Releasing balloons is more than just a litter problem. Released balloons can harm animals, humans, and even our environment by leading to accidents, injury, and even power outages. Mylar balloons, the shiny metallic, silver-like balloons, cause thousands of power outages each year when they float away and come into contact with power lines. Even balloons marked as "biodegradable" are harmful, as they can cause damage before they decompose. Because of this, there is no such thing as a "harmless" balloon release. Balloons are also a waste of a precious finite resource - helium. Currently, we are facing a helium shortage in the U.S. While you may mostly associate the gaseous chemical with bouncy decorations, helium is actually used in a variety of essential medical procedures, including MRIs. Doctors around the world are concerned about this helium shortage, and using helium for balloons is only making the shortage worse. A report from NBC News points out that "liquid helium is liquid gold to a host of industries." According to Bill Halperin, a professor of physics at Northwestern University, "helium is a nonrenewable resource. NASA and SpaceX need helium for liquid fuel rockets. The MRI industry needs helium. The pharmaceutical industry is reliant on helium. And so is the Department of Defense." One popular alternative to balloon releases is "sky lanterns," sometimes referred to as Chinese lanterns. During festivals in countries such as China, Brazil, and India, it is common to look up and see hundreds of glowing paper lanterns floating up into the night sky. Those are like tiny hot air balloons that use a candle or fuel cell to heat the air inside the lantern, causing it to rise and float away. However, these lanterns create similar litter problems and are also a fire hazard. In fact, they are illegal in some U.S. states.
