Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions
By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today. In recent
centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The passenger
pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its
extinction in 1914. The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market
hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bisons survive today only because of the efforts of
early conservationists. Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls
to present-day conservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation
resources can be applied where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their
survival in the wild is threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall
mainly within the two most serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangered. What
threatens these species' existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and
ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate
changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the
demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs. The list which conservationists
presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species
whose status we do not yet know. Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which
means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included.

Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the
humble thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of
life. All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity,
natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and animals ultimately
threatens people as well.
