Answer:

Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of the world’s oceans. Here we characterise and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Our model, calibrated with data from multi-vessel and aircraft surveys, predicted at least 79 (45–129) thousand tonnes of ocean plastic are floating inside an area of 1.6 million km2; a figure four to sixteen times higher than previously reported. We explain this difference through the use of more robust methods to quantify larger debris. Over three-quarters of the GPGP mass was carried by debris larger than 5 cm and at least 46% was comprised of fishing nets.

What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The main idea of the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address is:

The Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being.

<h3>Who was Abraham Lincoln?</h3>

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States from 1861 to 1865, when he was murdered.

The chosen option is the correct one because in the excerpt Lincoln explains how there were not reasons for the Southern states to fear for democracy.

I was able to find online the excerpt of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address and the options to choose from:

  • The Southern states openly flouted and defied the laws of the Constitution of the United States.

  • The Southern states were threatened by Lincoln’s fondness for the Northern states.

  • The Southern states’ authority was dwarfed by the emerging Northern states of the Union.

  • The Southern states handled their personal affairs of state in an immoral and unethical way.
