Reading Comprehension (20 pts) Choose the item (A, 8, Cor D) that best completes the unfinished statement about the passage. PASSAGE A (10 pts) Because many predators kil only when their prey is moving, an arimal that pretends to be dead may succeed in causing # predator to lose interest and move along in search of more lnely prey. Hognose snakes have a complex repertoire of anipredator mechanisms, of which feigning death is one option. These fry large nanvenomous a eighty venomous snakes [VE 1VO!"] occur in sandy habitats in the eastern United States. When first disturbed, the hognese opts TOF Bling the predator ~it fattens and expands the font thir of ts body and head, forming a hood, causing it to lok larger. It hen curs into an exaggerated s- ‘shaped col and hisses, occasionally making false stkes at ts tormentor. When furlier provoked, however, I drops the bhi and begins to twist its body violently. Then trolls onto its back with its mouth open and tongue hanging out loosely. Ifthe predator loses interest inthe ‘corpse" and moves evvay the snake slowy eights itself and crawls off. ‘The complete repertoire of antipredator mechanisms occurs in young hognose snakes. Researchers have show that newborn snakes are capable of making very sublle assessments ofthe degree of threat posed by a paneular predator. Two experiments were conducted in which the recavery from death-‘eigning(ie., crawling away) of newly hatched snakes unde various conditions was mentored. In one experiment the recovery of snakes was monitored in the presence or absence of @ stuffed screech ow! mounted on a tripod one meter from the overturned snake. In another experiment the snake recovered (1} inthe presence of a human staring atthe snake from a distance of one meter, (2) inthe presence of the same person in the ‘same location but with eyes averted, and (3) ina contol condton in whch no human was Vile. Both the presence ofthe ov {and the érect hamen gaze resuted in longer recovery times relative to the respective contol condtons. Wen the human eyes were averted, the recovery time was immediate.

In some cultures stil, certain beads are often wom from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners forthe afterlife. Abrasion due to dally wear alters the surface features of 5 beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further changed their appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and ihe effects of time. Besides their weerabilly, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the desirable characteristics of every coliectie’ they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in thelr orginal cultural context as well as in today’s market, Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that 10. almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.
