Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Every winter, hundreds of humpback whales migrate long distances from their high latitude feeding grounds in the Arctic and Antarctic to warmer tropical regions to breed and give birth. The newborn calves, which drink over 52 gallons of milk every day, have only a few months to gain the body fat needed to keep swimming back to cooler waters in summer. How the babies signal hunger and avoid predators during these early months has always been a mystery to scientists.
"We know next to nothing about the early life stages of whales in the wild, but they are important for the calves' survival during the long migration to their feeding grounds," says study lead author Simone Videsen of the University of Aarhus, Denmark. "These early life stages of wild whales are so confusing because they're an aquatic animal. We can't follow them around all the time to see what they're doing."
Studies revealed that instead of crying loudly like their human counterparts, humpback calves signal their hunger by gently nudging their mothers or uttering soft grunts and squeaks. The moms answer the requests by responding with quiet calls.
The team believes these quiet conversations help whale mother keep track of their young in murky waters without being overheard by dangerous threats. According to Videsen, "Potential predators, such as killer whales could listen to their conversations and use that as a clue to locate the calf and attack on it."
The scientists think that the low audible conversation also keeps mate-seeking males at bay, allowing the females to focus on nurturing the newborns before the tough, 5,000-mile journey back to the feeding grounds in the Antarctic.
The early months of the humpback whale babies are a mystery because ___________.

Athere have been very few sightings of these whales
Bthey are aquatic animals and it's difficult to follow and study them around
Cthey are big creatures

Read the passage and answer the question that Follow.

One day a man stopped to help an old lady who was stranded on the side of the road.
He decided to help her, so he stopped his old Jazz next to her Mercedes and got out. The old lady seemed a bit frightened and nervous because of his shabby appearance. The man, sensing this, approached carefully and tried to calm her.
He said to her, "Don't worry. I'm here to help you. My name is John William." He proceeded to fix her flat tire and became dirty and slightly injured in the process.
When he was finished, the lady asked him how much she owed him. He responded by telling her that if she really wanted to repay him, she could pass on the kindness to someone else in their time of need.
Later that evening the lady stopped at a small, dingy cafe. The waitress who served her was pregnant and tired. Despite her apparent exhaustion, the waitress was very sweet and friendly.
The lady wondered how someone who was so tired from a long day of work could still be so friendly and kind to her.
Then she remembered John. When the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress went to get change and when she came back, the lady was gone.
She left a note on the napkin…"You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me, just like I'm helping you now. If you really want to pay me back, do not let this chain of love end with you."
The waitress found five one hundred dollar bills under the napkin. That night, the waitress went home early. She thought about the lady and the money she left. She wondered how the lady could possibly know how much they needed it.
She knew her husband was worried and she was worried about him. She couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
Then she hugged him and whispered…Now everything will be okay. I love you, John William.
