WHEN SHE WAS ASKED WHY SHE WANTED TO MAKE THIS DIFFICULT JOURNEY,...

17.

When she was asked why she wanted to make this difficult journey, Jessica simply answered that she

wanted to do something to be proud of. But her trip did not end as well as she had hoped. Instead of

listing her as the youngest person to ever sail around the world alone, the World Speeding Sailing Record

Council said she needed to have sailed 2000 nautical miles more than she did to break the world record.

After hearing this, Jessica wrote in her blog, 'If I haven't been sailing around the world, then it beats me

what I've been doing out here all this time.'

Read the passage and choose the best answer

The Amazon is the world's largest tropical rainforest. It is roughly the size of the continent of

Australia and covers an area of nearly 2.8 million square miles. The vast forest consists of four layers,

each featuring its own ecosystems and specially adapted plants and animals.

The forest floor is the lowest region. Since only two percent of the sunlight can filter through the

top layers to the understory very few plants grow there. The forest floor, however, is rich with rotting

vegetation and bodies of dead animals which quickly break down and get integrated into the soil as

nutrients.

The understory is the layer above the forest floor. Much like the forest floor, only about 2 to 5

percent of the sunlight reaches this shadowy realm. Many of the plants in the understory have large, broad

leaves to collect as much sunlight as possible. The understory is so thick that there is very little air

movement. As a result, plants rely on insects and animals to pollinate their flowers.

The layer above the understory is the canopy. This is where much of the action in the rainforest

occurs. The canopy is where the wealth of the rainforest's fruits and flowers grow.

The emergent layer is above the canopy, and is the top layer of the rainforest. Trees in the emergent

layer break through the canopy and may reach heights of 200 feet and are massive. Many animals that

survive in the emergent layer never touch the ground.

A. There is very little air in the understory.

B. The wind is too strong and seeds blow into the Amazon River.

C. The sun is too bright in the understory.

D. There are very few butterflies in the rainforest.
