Studies that more than 9 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced since 1950, more than four times the volume of Mt. Everest, and about 75% of it remains in Landfills or has entered the environment as pollution. As material, plastic has many advantages. However, it is difficult to recycle because popular single use and convenience items, such as packaging and water bottles are ;low in quality and value when recycled. part of the magic of plastics is that it seemingly lasts forever. but when it cannot be re-used efficiently, it leads to stark realities like an island of plastic, twice the size of Texas, floating in the pacific ocean. plastic is consumed by fish and birds an is seeping into the air, water and our food.
Question 2 of 5
Based on the evidence from the passage, which of the following is the most likely inference?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the passage highlights the negative impact of plastic on the environment, stating that a significant amount of plastic remains in landfills or has become pollution. It mentions the challenges in recycling plastic due to its low quality when recycled and how it leads to environmental issues like a large island of plastic in the ocean. Therefore, the most likely inference is that while plastic is convenient, its negative consequences outweigh its benefits, suggesting that its use should be reduced to mitigate environmental harm.

THE Farallon Island, or devils Teeth, as they are referred to by sailors, area group of small islands with rocky, barren terrain and treacherous, 48 km (30 miles) off the coast of San Francisco, California although the islands are small, with a combined total land area of 0.41km squared (0.16 square miles), they are positioned in a major ocean current, which enables them to house dense populations of birds, rodents seals, and other water mammals.
The abundance of wildlife first attracted Russian and American fur traders in the early 1800s, who then nearly eliminated the seal population in the area. The islands then became an agricultural resource for San Francisco during the gold rush era when egg companies began harvesting bird eggs on the islands. In 1863, violence between viral egg companies erupted on the islands (known as the Egg War") which inadvertently attracted national attention and provoked lawmakers to pass legislation to protect and rehabilitate the island's natural ecosystem.
In 1881, an executive order was passed that decreed egging illegal on the Farallon's. This ended private enterprises on the islands was reinforced in 1909 when President Theodore Roosevelt created the Farallon Reservation to restore human access and preserve that northern island, and over time many of the island original inhabitants have returned.
The Farallon's are now home to the world's largest population of western gull. Seals have returned, as well as otters and sea lions, which in turn attracts great white sharks. The combination of sharks, underwater currents, and jagged coastline are probably what earned the Farallon's their nickname "Devil's Teeth," though it hasn't stopped a few adventurous people from swimming. Four people have completed the 30-mile swim from the islands to San Francisco; the fastest person completed the journey in 14 hours.
Question 4 of 5
What is the main idea of the passage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The passage discusses how human activities, such as fur trading and egg harvesting, disrupted the ecosystem of the Farallon Islands in the early 1800s. This disruption led to the near elimination of seals and other wildlife populations. However, due to national attention and legislative action, efforts were made to protect and rehabilitate the island's natural ecosystem. The passage highlights the restoration efforts that took place over time, showcasing how humans played a role in both disrupting and restoring the ecosystem of the Farallon Islands.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following organizations might the author of this article most closely associate with?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A nature conservancy group. The passage focuses on the history of the Farallon Islands, the conservation efforts to protect the wildlife and ecosystem, and the restoration of the natural habitat. References to the protection of wildlife, legislation to preserve the islands' ecosystem, and the return of original inhabitants highlight a strong association with a nature conservancy group that works towards preserving and rehabilitating natural environments. Options A, C, and D are not directly related to the conservation and preservation efforts described in the passage.
