  • 2. 

    Coral reefs are created by very _________________________ animals and plants.

    • Caller

    • Talking

    • Small

    • Walker

    Correct Answer
    A. Small
    Explanation
    Coral reefs are created by very small animals and plants. These organisms, such as coral polyps and algae, work together to build the reef structure. Coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to form hard skeletons, while algae provide food through photosynthesis. The small size of these organisms is crucial for the formation and growth of coral reefs, as it allows them to densely populate and create intricate structures that provide habitats for a diverse range of marine life.

    • Calller

    • Fought

    • Bald

    • Halt

    Correct Answer
    A. Fought
    Explanation
    The word "fought" is the correct answer because it implies that the group has been actively engaged in a struggle or battle to protect the coral reefs. This suggests that they have put in a significant amount of effort and determination over a long period of time to preserve the coral reefs.

    • Awe

    • Straw

    • Laws

    • Bald

    Correct Answer
    A. Bald
    Explanation
    The word "bald" is the correct answer because it is the only option that fits logically in the sentence. The sentence describes watching an eagle soar over the water, and the word "bald" is commonly used to describe eagles without feathers on their heads. Therefore, "bald" is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

    Many colorful fish are _______________________  by coral reef divers.

    • Fought

    • Stalked

    • Straw

    • Talking

    Correct Answer
    A. Stalked
    Explanation
    Coral reef divers often stalk or follow many colorful fish underwater. They carefully observe and track the movements of these fish in order to study their behavior, take photographs, or simply enjoy their beauty. "Fought" does not make sense in this context as divers do not fight the fish. "Straw" and "talking" are unrelated to the activity of coral reef diving.

    • Awe

    • Squall

    • Half

    • Drawn

    Correct Answer
    A. Half
    Explanation
    Coral is considered half animal and half plant because it has characteristics of both. It is an animal because it is a member of the phylum Cnidaria and has stinging cells called nematocysts. It is also a plant because it contains photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide it with energy through photosynthesis. This unique combination of animal and plant characteristics makes coral a fascinating and important organism in marine ecosystems.

This implies that there is an ongoing process or activity that is causing harm to the coral reefs, and it is necessary for us to intervene and put an end to it in order to protect and preserve the reefs.
