The writer wants to add the following sentence: 'Educational programs in schools now teach children that emotional expression doesn't require physical harm.' Where should this sentence be placed?
A. Point A B. Point B C. Point C D. Point D
[ [A] Modern influences have significantly impacted Ikipalin's prevalence. [B] The Indonesian government banned the practice in the 1970s, citing health concerns and human rights violations. [C] Christian missionaries have also discouraged it, promoting alternative mourning practices. [D] However, in remote villages, some families continue the tradition in secret, viewing it as essential to honoring their ancestors and maintaining cultural identity. Younger Dani women increasingly refuse the practice, creating intergenerational tensions about preserving tradition verses embracing modernity.]
What is D. - Point D?
Explanation:
Point D is the ideal placement because it positions the sentence after both government bans and missionary influence have been discussed, but before the concluding information about secret continuation of the practice. This placement creates a logical progression: government bans, missionary discouragement, educational programs, and then the reality that some still practice in secret. The educational programs represent another modern intervention attempting to change traditional practices.

Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? A. No Change B. studying this venom have C. studying, this venom, have D. studying this venom; have
What is B. Studying this venom have
Explanation:
Choice B correctly removes the semicolon, which cannot be used within a single clause. The sentence structure is 'Scientists studying this venom have discovered,' where 'studying this venom' modifies 'Scientists.' No punctuation is needed within this subject phrase, as it forms one continuous grammatical unit.
Psychologist Dr. Susan Chen identifies key warning signs: keeping multiple versions of nearly identical photos, maintaining email accounts with over 50,000 unread messages, and experiencing anxiety when considering to delete any digital content.
Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? A. No Change B. considering deleting C. considering the deletion of D. to consider to delete
B. considering deleting
Explanation:
Choice B correctly uses the gerund 'deleting' after the verb 'considering.' In English, the verb 'consider' is followed by a gerund (ing-form), not an infinitive. This is a fixed grammatical pattern that must be memorized. The construction 'considering deleting' properly expresses the idea of thinking about the action of deletion. This follows the same pattern as similar verbs like 'enjoy,' 'finish,' and 'avoid,' which also take gerunds rather than infinitives.

What is A - NO CHANGE
Explanation:
The current phrasing 'samples from one of Earth's most inaccessible ecosystems' is concise and clear. The word 'Earth's' is necessary to establish that we're discussing terrestrial ecosystems rather than potentially comparing to other planets (which is relevant given the astrobiology context). The possessive form 'Earth's' is more elegant than alternatives and the sentence flows smoothly without redundancy.

AS TIGERS BECOME RARER, POACHERS ARE TARGETING LIONS
Four young lions of Limpopo National Park, Mazombique died where they ate their final meal. They were found lying on sandy ground near the remains of a poisoned calf. No one witnessed the silent 1 slaughter; only the gruesome aftermath. The faces and paws of all four cats had been hacked off. According to the law enforcement operations manager at Limpopo National Park, two men are suspected 2 in the crime, 3 to have likely been killing the lions in retaliation for the cats having preyed on cattle. One man has been charged, and the other remains at large……
[1] Across Africa, wild lion populations have plunged by about 43 percent since 1993 to 9 far more than 20,000 in 2014, according to the IUCN. [2] Habitat loss and the reduction of lions' wild prey by the bush meat trade 10 is forcing them into dangerous contact with humans and their livestock. [3] Cats that prey on cattle become the targets of retaliatory killings. 11 [4] And now, increasingly, poaching for lions' body parts is compounding these problems…..
At no other time has Africa's king of beasts been so threatened. Conservationists are urging more vigorous law enforcement to tackle the illegal trade in their parts and are pressing for a ban on the legal trade.
South Africa's legal trade is stoking Asian demand for lion parts as stand-ins for tiger parts and is fueling a growing illegal trade in the teeth and claws of wild lions, further reducing their numbers.
The author wants to add the following sentence. Should the author do so?
"One reason poachers increasingly seem to be killing lions for their claws and teeth, rather than their skins or bones, is practical."

C No, because the sentence brings in a new idea that has not been discussed in the passage. D No, because it states something that contradicts what has been mentioned previously in the passage.
WHAT IS -
C. No, because the sentence brings in a new idea that has not been discussed in the passage.

In the given sentence, "CITES" has to be followed by "which" because we are providing additional information about CITES. The sentence would make complete sentence even without this parenthetical clause. The clause only provides additional information that CITES regulates global wildlife trade. Having "that" here would be incorrect as there is no other CITES that does not regulate the global wildlife trade.
