Read the excerpt from "The Environmental Ethic." It is fashionable in some quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bug

s and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the Pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it. Which of the following claims is best supported by the evidence in this excerpt? All species are worth protecting because even the small organisms contribute important functions in the environment. Every effort should be made to protect each bug and weed species regardless of its potential to cause destruction. All of the species that are now extinct or are becoming extinct could have cured a disease. Only the species that can be used for medical purposes are worth protecting from extinction.

The correct answer is A.

The excerpt indicates that all species are worth saving because you never know what beneficial role they play. The examples given in the excerpt are of small organisms -- even pests -- that ended up playing an important role. Therefore, the first statement is the best one.

What does the author believe is the best approach towards free speech in the private sector
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The author believes that the best approach towards free speech in the private sector is for the private entities to censor speech by their users.

Explanation:

According to the author, private entities were responsible for the censoring of free speech not the state.

He went on to say that these private sectors have the rights to offer these regulations on their different platforms and make exclusions to certain speech of their members.

Evidence can be see  in the third paragraph. The author implied here that private sector has a right to invoke the first amendment clause that limits speeches that are lawless, full of threat and obscenity.
