Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 
 Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which co-exist in their 
environments, forming complex, interrelated communities. Living organisms depend on one another 
for nutrients, shelter, and other benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain reaction 
that affects many other species, particularly if the loss occurs near the bottom of the food chain. For 
example, the extinction of a particular insect or plant might seem inconsequential. However, there 
may be fish or small animals that depend on that resource for foodstuffs. The loss can threaten the 
survival of these creatures and larger predators that prey upon them. Extinction can have a ripple 
effect that spreads throughout nature. 
 In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans, the 
only species capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all 
other life forms, particularly plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible 
with the survival of some other species. Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals that 
prey on people, livestock, crops, or pose any threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals have 
been decimated by human desire for meat, hides, fur, or other body parts with commercial value. 
Likewise, demand for land, water, and other natural resources has left many wild plants and animals 
with little to no suitable habitat. Humans have also affected nature by introducing non-native species 
to local areas and producing pollutants having a negative impact on the environment. The 
combination of these human-related effects and natural obstacles such as disease or low birthrates 
has proven to be too much for some species to overcome. They have no chance of survival without 
human help. 
 As a result, societies have difficult choices to make about the amount of effort and money they 
are willing to spend to save imperiled species. Will people accept limits on their property rights, 
recreational activities, and means of livelihood to save a plant or an animal? Should saving such 
popular species as whales and dolphins take priority over saving obscure, annoying, or fearful 
species? Is it the responsibility of humans to save every kind of life form from disappearing, or is 
extinction an inevitable part of nature, in which the strong survive and the weak perish? These are 
some difficult questions that people face as they ponder the fate of other species living on this planet.
