Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

1. On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

2. Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.
A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

When researchers at the University of Missouri began examining trees in surrounding areas, fire damage in a Canadian forest revealed that huge wildfires in the mountains near Ontario darkened the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

b. The student's sentence leaves out too many important details from the paragraph.
c. The student's sentence perfectly and properly captures the main idea of the paragraph.

How do the passages differ in their ideas about fish farming?
Sveta_85 [38]

The correct answer is C. The author of passage 1 believes fish farming is beneficial to the environment,  while the author of Passage 2 believes fish farming is not the solution to  overfishing

Explanation:

The two passages provide a different about fish farming, which is the practice that involves raising fish rather than capturing them in their natural habitat. In the case of the passage 1, the author proposes fish farming is beneficial because this stops the problem of overfishing, this can be seen in "Fish farming helps humans continue to consume fish while protecting valuable marine resources" that shows fish farming is the way to protect the environment and the populations of fish while benefitting humans.

On the opposite, the author of passage 2 exposes the negative effects of fish farming and in this way shows this is not a solution. This can be seen in "one of the major problems with fish farming is water supply contamination" or in "it also causes destructions to habits" that supports the idea fishing farming does not solve the problems caused by overfishing.
