Question

1 Which piece of evidence from the article MOST appeals to the reader's emotions? (A) They play a predatory role in animals' lives for three main reasons: zoos breed animals inhumanely, they do not achieve their claims of rehabilitation and they provide only scarce resources for the animals in their care. (B) When zoos have too many animals, the "extra" animals are simply killed. This happened in 2014 at the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. That year, a giraffe named Marius was shot despite the public's outcry, because the zoo didn't think his genes were useful. (C) According to the environmental online news website One Green Planet, zoo ticket prices are raised with no benefit for animals, in the zoos or the wild. This extra income goes toward building attractions that are meant to draw in greater crowds, not to improve the animals' living conditions or well-being. (D) A report by National Geographic, published in 2003, found that most zoos don't have any contact with reintroduction programs. Further, of 145 known efforts to raise endangered animals in captivity in the last century worldwide, only 16 have been successful.

Answer 1

I think it’s b I’m not sure

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Most people would hate a giraffe being shot for no reason. A zoo isn't meant for "useful" genes, either. If a zoo did have too many animals, they would most likely transfer the animals back to the wild, or to another zoo that needs more animals.
