Read the passage. The Ride of His Life When Jesse Senko was 12 years old, he had an experience that literally changed his life.

Senko was snorkeling while on vacation in the Cayman Islands with his family when a large sea turtle swam near him. Senko naturally did what any 12-year-old boy would do and decided to grab the turtle and go for a ride. That turtle ride, in some ways, has never ended. People find their passions in many different ways. Senko found his passion while riding on the back of a turtle when he was just 12 years old. Today, Senko is a conservation scientist at Arizona State University. He focuses his research and life’s work on marine resource sustainability. Can you guess what that includes? If you guessed sea turtles, you would be correct. In college, Senko majored in fisheries and wildlife science, and he also received a Master of Science degree in wildlife ecology. Much of the focus of his work is on saving endangered sea turtles. Sea turtles help keep the ocean healthy, and thus their well-being affects the entire ecosystem. They provide a natural regulatory system for the environment. For example, sea turtles eat seagrass, which helps it grow properly, and their unhatched eggs provide nutrients for plant life to keep beaches healthy. Sea turtles also provide a home for small animals that attach to their shells. Sea turtles are endangered because fishermen inadvertently catch them in their nets, which can cause the turtles irreparable harm. Senko came up with the idea to create solar-powered fishing nets so fishermen can readily see when they accidentally catch a sea turtle. Because the lights are solar powered, the fishermen do not have to maintain the lights or change the batteries. This technology has resulted in a 65 percent reduction in sea turtle catches thus far. Senko’s goal is a 100 percent reduction.
Question 1 Part A What is a central idea of "The Ride of His Life"?
Solar power is essential to saving sea turtles.
Sea turtles are the most endangered animals in the ocean.
Sea turtles are a critical part of the marine ecosystem.
Modern technology such as solar nets will help save the environment.
Part B

whats your opinion for teens having a phone. plz, give your own opinion. will award brainiest for the best answer.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

I think that teens should have phones

Explanation:

This is a good thing because it allows kids to be in touch with their parent or gaurdian so they know how they will get home or if they are in sports or something that takes planning. I also think that this is a good idea because it can allow kids to keep up with grades to where they could get notifacations and see if they have missing assignments! It could also help them get help if in a bad situation! For example, if there is a fire or an accident that happened, they would be able to call for help. Having a cell phone could also help your kid to have responsabilites.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck!
