Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

The saving of certain wild animals from extinction has for many years been a
problem for zoologists and other specialists, but more recently the problem has
become so acute, and has received so much publicity, that most people are now
concerned about it. This may at first seem strange because one of the most gratifying
developments of the last few years has been the passing of strict laws to protect wild
animals and the consequent decline in the hunting of big game for sport. Why is it,
then, that some rate wild animals are still threatened with extinction and even some
of the less rare ones are rapidly declining in number?

One reason is the 'march of civilization'. When an area is wholly cleared of
vegetation to make room for new towns, factory sites, for hydroelectric plants, the
natural home of several species is destroyed. The displaced animals must either
migrate to another area or perish. Even the clearing of land for a road or an airfield
may involve 'pushing back the jungle, and the smaller the area in which wild animals
compete for a living, the smaller the number that can hope to survive.

Civilization brings, too, swift and easy transport and so assists those who are
determined to break the various protective laws. Thieves can elude the game
wardens, shoot an elephant for its tusks, a rhinoceros for its horn, or a deer for its
meat, and be miles away from the site of the crime before the dead or dying victim is
even discovered.

It is sad to reflect that civilization which can bring so many benefits to people
who have previously known only hunger and misery, brings also facilities for the
heartless criminals who, for material gain, will slaughter some harmless animals and
threaten the disappearance of its kind from the earth forever.​
