The author says that national parks exist so that people can experience America; if they were to remain hidden, their value would be lost.
In order for America to be experienced, these parks must not remain "hidden gems." He argues that these parks "contribute uniquely" to the landscape and is a reminder of "what was" -- i.e., an America that no longer exists in modern
time.
He says that he wants others to experience what he has worked so hard to save. Therefore, these does not want these parks to remain "hidden gems."
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Line 6 through 10 tells about an experiment run by an animal researcher in which pigs were trained to play video games. Line 9-10 of the passage goes as: <em>"...Curtis (the researcher) said the pigs got the point within minutes, learning at as rate as fast as chimpanzees." </em>He compared the learning speed between pigs and chimpanzees, which implies that chimpanzees were also trained to play the same games as pigs and even before pigs.
In addition:
A is incorrect as <em>candy </em>was not mentioned in the lines.
B is incorrect as the animal researcher worked with pigs <em>over a period of several weeks</em>, not years.
C is incorrect as the game was not described in the lines so the matching game was unknown.
