In the photographs you can see two photographs of Hong Kong, the first is from 1910 and the second from 2000. The first photograph shows the coast of Hong Kong with few buildings and boats, while the second photograph shows large buildings and boats.

Hong Kong's growth is because it is a special administrative region that has a free market economy that has allowed this city to be at the epicenter of world trade and economy. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The expansion of international trade.

When a species is classified as threatened, it means that that particular species is expected to become endangered, not extinct. The species that are threatened, are species that have experienced a significant drop in numbers in recent times, but still have enough individuals to be able to survive and keep the species going. But if the situation starts to become worse and the species continues to lose numbers, than the species will fall into the category of endangered species, which will mean that it is expected that the species will die out in the very near future.
Fossils (from the Latin fossilis, which means 'excavated') are the remains or signs of the activity of past organisms.These remains, preserved in sedimentary rocks, may have undergone changes in their composition (by diagenesis) or deformations (by dynamic metamorphism) more or less intense.
