Read the following passages and answer the question that follow:
Once upon a time, there was a partridge who couldn’t find any food near its cozy home. Feeling hungry and desperate, it decided to venture far away to some cornfields in search of a meal. The partridge stayed there for a few days, enjoying the abundance of food, before finally deciding to return home.
Little did the partridge know, while it was away, a clever rabbit had discovered the partridge’s empty nest and decided to make it its own. The rabbit found the nest to be a perfect shelter and settled comfortably inside. It had no idea that the partridge would soon return.
When the partridge returned to its nest, it was shocked to find the rabbit happily residing there. Both the partridge and the rabbit claimed ownership of the nest and a heated argument ensued. They couldn’t agree on who the rightful owner was, and their disagreement quickly escalated.
The other animals in the area witnessed the commotion and realized that a fair judgement was needed to resolve the dispute. They suggested seeking the help of a wise and impartial judge. After searching for a suitable candidate, they stumbled upon a praying cat by the river. Intrigued by the cat’s serene demeanor, they decided to ask for its assistance.
The cat listened attentively to both the partridge and the rabbit, but it pretended to have difficulty hearing their arguments. Cunningly, the cat asked them to come closer so that it could better understand their claims. Unfortunately, as soon as the partridge and the rabbit approached, the cat pounced on them killing and devouring both.
The cat pretended to have difficulty __________ their arguments.

Read the passage and answer the question that follow.
The largest hard-shelled sea turtles are the green sea turtles. They are unique among sea turtles because they are herbivores, mostly eating seagrass and algae. This diet gives their fat a greenish colour, which is where their name comes from.
Green turtles are found throughout the world. They nest in over 80 countries and live in the coastal areas of more than 140 countries. Historically, green turtles were exploited for their fat, meat and eggs. It eventually caused a decline in their global population. Many countries, including the United States, prohibit the killing of green sea turtles and the collection of their eggs. However, in some areas, the killing of green turtles for their meat or to supply shells to the
wildlife trafficking trade remains a threat to their population. Bycatch in commercial and recreational fishing gear, vessel strikes, loss of nesting habitat due to coastal development, and climate change are the biggest threats facing green turtles. They come under the category of endangered animals.
Many wildlife and marine life protection agencies are dedicated to protecting and recovering green turtle populations worldwide. They use a variety of innovative techniques to study, protect, and recover these threatened and endangered populations. These agencies develop measures and recovery plans that foster the conservation and recovery of green turtles and their habitats. Many funded studies are also being done to conserve their populations.
Which word in the passage means the same as ‘groundbreaking’?

AUnique
BExploited
CInnovative
DRecreational
