Passage 1

Located in Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's most extensive coral reef structure. The reef has been evolving for over 15,000 years and is made up of over 3,000 individual reef systems. It covers a total area of 348,000 square kilometers–that's the same size as 70 million football fields! In fact, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living thing that is visible from space. The biodiversity of the reef is remarkable. It is home to many unique ecological communities, habitats, and species. Some of these species, such as turtles and crocodiles, have been around since prehistoric times. The reef contains 600 types of soft and hard corals. It also provides a habitat to 1,500 species of fish. 133 varieties of sharks and rays swim the waters of the reef. The region also hosts a variety of birds, whales, dolphins, and many other species. These species of the Great Barrier Reef and their habitats are deeply interconnected.

Passage 2

On our trip to Queensland, Australia, one thing was certain. Visiting the Great Barrier Reef was going to be spectacular. As soon as we arrived, we decided to take a glass-bottomed boat tour. The guide on the excursion gave us a lot of amazing information about the reef. We didn't realize it was the same size as 70 million football fields! We learned about the long history of the reef on our trip, too. When we spotted a sea turtle, the guide explained how turtles, like crocodiles, have been around since prehistoric times. We also learned about the different types of coral on the reef and the species it provides a habitat to. Not only does the reef have so many different fish, sharks, and rays, but the birds in the area are also unique. The Great Barrier Reef was well worth the trip just to learn about how all the species that call it home are connected.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
