Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. A young man from the south of England has decided to ignore modern fast fashion and instead only ever wears clothes from the 1800s. He burnt his last pair of jeans when he was 14 and has dressed as a gentleman from the Regency era ever since. He often goes shopping in a top hat in his hometown of Brighton, and now designs clothes for other history fans too. He says it is the only way he feels comfortable in the 21st century. At the age of 14, he had to wear school uniform most of the time. On non-school uniform days he would dress in three-piece suits. As a senior he didn't have to wear uniform and chose to wear his flamboyant clothes to school. He was quite surprised when he was voted as the best dressed in the leaver's book. He says his obsession with historical clothes started when his family moved home as a teenager, and they found a box full of his great-grandfather's old suits. He found the period clothing fitted him well and began wearing them as much as he could. Over the years he has gained a huge online following with close to 40,000 adoring fans subscribed so far. They all like keeping up to date with his period tailoring. For him, a typical day involves dressing as an 1820's gent, wearing a pair of knee-high leather riding boots, a floral waistcoat and a riding jacket with long tails just like a cape. It has been at least a decade since he has worn any modern clothing and the only time he can remember doing so was when he was invited to an 80s themed costume party. It is amazing that his mother allowed him to be so eccentric and was understanding enough when he was younger to allow him to start his very different choice in dress. He has 40,000 followers on the _____________ who think he has great style. Aradio BInternet Ctelevision Dsubscriber list

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 humpback mother and calves communicate by ________. Asinging loud whale songs Bmoving their fins and tails Cgentle nudges, uttering soft grunts and squeaks, and quiet calls
