Background: the u. s. marine corps first adopted a blm wild horse for the mounted color guard in 1988. a two-year old horse called "okinawa" became an integral part of the equine unit, quickly learning to lead a parade with flags flapping, jets flying overhead, audiences clapping and dealing with unexpected loud noises. (2) his calm performances encouraged the marines to adopt seven other wild horses. (3) the mounted color guard has since participated in every tournament of roses parade in pasadena, california, since 1990, as well as dozens of other annual parades and shows.

which fact supports the idea that wild horses can be trained for adoption?
a) the author furnishes information of interest to potential adopters.
b) the author shows how hard it has been to get the horses ready for adopting.
c) the author tells of procedures for members of the public who wish to adopt a horse.
d) the author gives examples of wild horses being trained and then adopted by the u. s. marine corps.

The correct answer is D. The author gives examples of wild horses being trained and then adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps.    

Explanation:

In the text presented the author states the way the U.S. Marine Corps, which is part of the Armed Forces in the U.S. decided to adopt a wild horse in 1988 and as a result of the positive performance of this horse continued adopting many other wild horses. For supporting the main idea of the text, which is that wild horses can be adopted and trained the author mainly explains to the audience the way in which the first wild horse was adopted and the performance of it as part of the Mounted Color Guard by providing details about how quickly the horse became an important part of the parades and unexpectedly was not afraid in situations with loud noises.

This shows the author aims at showing to the audience it is possible to adopt horses and integrate them to the Marine Corps by presenting the story of one of the horses or by giving an example of wild horses being trained and then adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps, as this is a fact and shows it is possible wild horses can be part of the Armed Forces.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.

you have to tell us what you're talking about or it's impossible to answer.
