Answer:
This passage is mainly about asteroids striking Earth.
Explanation:
The presented passage is mostly focusing on asteroids striking Earth. It is something that has been happening since Earth has formed, and it will happen in the future as well. The vast majority of the asteroids don't really have any impact on Earth, but some have an impact that is devastating and long-lasting.
In the earlier stages of Earth, many more asteroids were falling on the surface, and the main reason for that has been the lack of atmosphere or a very thin atmosphere. As the atmosphere started to take shape and became similar to what is nowadays, the asteroid impacts decreased significantly because the atmosphere was managing to burn them and break them apart. This is not possible with all asteroids though, as some are so big and fall under an angle where the atmosphere doesn't really have any impact on them so when they fall on the surface they are able to cause sudden climatic changes, mass devastation, and mass extinction of species. Such an asteroid will be in a direction to hit Earth in the future for sure, the question remains will humans with their technology be able to prevent an impact or not.
Answer:
(A) It connects Western and Central Europe.
(C) It is an important trade route.
(D) It is used for transportation.
Explanation:
The Danube is a river in central Europe and the second longest in this continent (the first is the Volga), which flows mainly through ten countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) to finally flow into the Black Sea.
This river is of great importance for Eastern Europe because its channel serves as an international bridge for agricultural, fishing, tourism, commercial and industrial activities. In addition, the majority of the population that lives in its vicinity, depends on the water of the Danube to carry out its activities, which is why there is a large number of reservoirs and dams on its way.
Another important aspect is that the Danube has a high economic potential, due to its capacities for transport, commerce and tourism, so the use and use of its waters has been promoted.

Both are igneous rocks, but whereas volcanic rocks are formed from cooling lava on the surface, plutonic rocks are formed from cooling magma below the surface. So plutonic rock is an igneous intrusive rock, while volcanic rock is extrusive.
I think the best answer is B. Both are controversial since both projects are very destructive to the environment. Environmental issues rise during the Pacua Dam and the Intercoastal Highway Projects. The construction of these projects are said to destroy and damage ecosystem.
