<i><b>I.Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions </b></i>
<i><b>or statements:</b></i>

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the
jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will
become extinct.

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by <i><b>poachers</b></i> who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain
but in personal gratification. <i><b>This</b></i> is an example of the <i><b>callousness</b></i> that is contributing to the problem of
extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of
the world s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their<b>’</b>
survival – and the survival of our planet.

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some
countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have <i><b>allocated</b></i> large amounts of land to animals
reserves. They then charge admission prices to help <i><b>defray</b></i> the costs of maintaining the parks, and they
often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in
equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is
an <i><b>international boycott</b></i> of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by
itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
