Question

I. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: 5 x 1 =5 Giant Pandas are known as ‘charismatic megafauna’ for a reason. These endangered animals ooze star power, a factor that conservationists have capitalized on, in order to fund projects to protect them (and, often by default, the other organisms that share their complex ecosystems). People are far more likely to donate money to save an adorable panda or a magnificent tiger than they are to, on preserving creatures like the Gerlach’s cockroach. However, roaches are integral participants in the ecosystems, and just as deserving of assistance as their flashier compatriots. And if the concept of trickle-down conservation troubles you, get to work on that 'Save the Gerlach cockroach' campaign. I'd donate, may be. You might then consider the animals on the list, ‘charismatic megafauna’ as the A-listers whose box office draw, finances the continued existence of the lesser-known character actors who inhabit the same environments. Everyone loves a panda. They might be the most artsy animals’ humanity has driven to the brink of extinction. From stuffed animals to martial arts-trained CGI creation, we just can’t seem to get enough of the bi-colored beasts. Though their ‘aww factor’ may be excessively sweet, it hasn’t been without effect. China, which is home to the remaining wild population of fewer than 2,500 individuals, has since the late 1980s instituted more stringent habitat protections and poaching has all but ceased. Their status is still shaky, though. Their range is fragmented and they are still subject to disease, occasional predation, and starvation when large areas of the bamboo on which they feed completes its life cycle and dies. (1) Giant Pandas have ‘star power’ because A. they are great actors. B. they are adorable to look at. C. movie stars donate for their conservation. D. they are named after a star. (2) When the writer says ‘I’d donate. Maybe.’ he is trying to A. encourage others to donate money for saving the Gerlach’s cockroach. B. decide whether he wants to donate to a campaign to save the Gerlach’s cockroach. C. make a point about how raising funds to save pandas will always win over saving cockroaches. ​
