Use the paragraph to answer the question.

The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bears young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills.The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

3.Which is the best summary of the following text?

It happens way too often: oil leaking from wells beneath the ocean or tankers spilling their cargo into the waves. One disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Tyler spill, has been leaking hundreds of barrels of oil per day into the ocean for the past 14 years. That safety should be a higher priority is a no-brainer. But something can be done to clean up oil spills—something that doesn’t involve pouring chemical cleanup agents into our already fouled waters. And yet the oil industry has not embraced this smart, safe method.

(1 point)

The oil industry should promptly handle oil spills with a chemical clean-up process.

Oil spills occur too frequently.

Oil spills are an ongoing problem that can be improved in a smart and safe manner.

12. Mother nature is so smart that she knows how to constantly rebuilt and regenerate itself. To the human eyes, a fire hurts so much. We think that fires destroy nature. But as in the case of fires or heavy rains, the purpose is to clean what must be cleaned. SUPPORTING DETAIL:"Fire also may kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage otherwise healthy trees."

13. Both fires are natural. They are caused by multiple different things including, high heat levels, heat waves, etc. The healthy trees would be affected but not as much as “dead” trees.

14. I GAVE 3 DIFFERENT ANSWERS SO CHOOSE 1! FIRST ONE: Even though my aunt is wealthy, she is miserly and refuses to help me pay for college. SECOND ONE: A man who tricks people into giving him money. The more and more he does this the more and more his appearance changes during the lies he tells. THIRD ONE: He chooses to do people wrong to extend his life span.

15. In order for words to give off a negative tone, there has to be some way the author is communicating with us. is this supposed to be negative? what is it talking about?

all of that goes against and sounds horrible for a place for children to play happily and safely

Hopefully I helped you!
