Answer:

C. To trace the reasons why elephants are endangered

Explanation:

I think this is the correct answer because the author doesn't only describe the illegal ivory trade as an important cause of the elephant's endangerment, it also focuses on the shrinking of their natural habitat.

The author starts describing some of the elephant's most interesting characteristics so the audience feels empathy towards them. Then he starts to mention the causes of their endangerment, first the poaching, and then the reduction of their habitats, making emphasis on the fact that both are very harmful.  

He finishes showing the effors to save this species.

As we can see, he doesn't focus on the behaviour of elephants so option B. is discarded.

Although the author condemns illegal ivory trade, he also focuses on other factors, so it is not option A.

And he mentions the wildlife preserves, he doesn't encourage the readers to go there, he only describe them as solutions.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It was first published in French in 1864, then reissued in 1867 in a revised and expanded edition. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is the tale's central figure, an eccentric German scientist who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the very center of the earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans rappel into Iceland's celebrated inactive volcano then contend with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric creatures from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. (The 1867 revised edition inserted additional prehistoric material in Chaps. 37–39.) Eventually the three explorers are spewed back to the surface by an active volcano, Stromboli, in southern Italy.

The effects on families
During WWII an estimated 200,000 or more Japanese people were killed and a lot were left homeless. Due to this, as well as the firebombing of Tokyo and fathers being in the military, many families were torn apart and separated from each other. In the movie, Seita and Setsuko’s father was in the military and they were separated from their mother after she died due to the firebombings. All families were under a lot of stress. They had to look after each other and only got small, indecent rations of food to share around. Some families looked after the children of other lost family members and some just took in abandoned children who had lost both parents. Because Seita and Setsuko lost both of their parents they went to their aunt’s house so she could care for them. In WWII women and children had to help in the war effort. Children had to do various tasks around their community during this time. They manufactured things for the soldiers such as uniforms, weapons and other various goods. Children also pulled down houses to create firebreaks and rebuilt other houses inside that area. Younger children might have done small errands for the soldiers to get more food for their families. Seita and Setsuko didn’t go out to work and their aunt accused them of not earning their food. Their aunt had the rest of her family to look after as well and because they went out to work she thought it was only fair that they get more food.
