Test three.
Okay.
And so, as always, there's a bit of preamble, and at a certain point within this preamble, the recording will state that you can turn to section one, and it's at that moment that you want to start previewing the questions on what you hear.
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
All of the recordings will be played once only.

Okay.
Thank you.
I see here that you had a recent order put on hold for 150.
Essential poppy playable chew toys.
Product code 1103-02 Did you want to add this Thio?
Today's that order was held because I was told somebody would get back to me with the size and details for the chew toys.
12 twelves too large.
We need the 99 cent.
Yes, I see the nose on your file.
I'm sorry no one got in contact with you.
Yes.
It looks as though our production manager has okayed the custom sizing.
We can have the smaller chew toys in production as soon as your payment clears.
Did you know though, that custom product orders can only be completed for unit purchases off 200 or more?
Okay.
You will need to pay an extra 35 ST premium per item.
So what would the total cost with shipping and handling, plus the premium for altered dimensions on order of 200 essential poppy Playable to toys would be $1874.
36 including taxes.
If you place the order to D, we can have everything shipped to you a week from Monday.
I was hoping to keep the two toys under $1500.
You mentioned that you were looking to buy other products as well.
If he bundled the orders together, I can see if we can implement a quantity discount Okay, Well, I was also interested in 70 wink Stark sleepers.
Product code 2563-3 435 of them in black, 35 grand.
Unfortunately, Mr Thomas, we are currently on back order for the black sleepers.
We have 10 left in stock that I could ship to you with this order, but the remainder would likely be on additional 14 days.
No, that won't work.
I need them for next week's dog show inscribed.
One other caressed you.
There's no problem.
It looks like we have Burgundy and Navy blue available to Okay, let me change the order.
Give me 25 brand sleepers.
The remaining 10 black ones you have in stock 10 burgundy and 25 Navy blue.
Okay, so 25 brown, 10 black, same Burgundy and 25 Navy kita in.
Did you want us to ship more black sleepers to you when we get them in stock?
No, thanks.
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions.
6 to 10.
Okay, so a pause it there most.
The answer is very straightforward.
I don't think any anyone had too much of an issue finding these.
We're listening for these.
The quantity that he orders of the essential puppy pliable Chew toys is 200 and he has to order 200 because he's getting custom sizing me.
So if you recall, I don't remember what the original dimensions where I think it was 12 by 12 or something.
And he says that he needs Thies this product in nine by nine and and then the seller tells him, Well, I can't provide any custom sizing to you unless you buy 200 items or more and then he decides he's going.
He's going to go ahead with that and get 200.
So the number here is 200 on.
Then if you get a custom item, if you order custom items, there is a premium that you must pay per item, and that premium is 35 cents.
Uh, what kind of discount can the supplier offer if the buyer buys in bulk?
And this was a very clear quantity discount.
I don't think anybody had an issue with that question.
Better see, why can the buyer not wait for the black dog sleepers on back order?
He can't wait for them because he is attending a dog show.
How many weeks dog sleepers is the customer by now.
This one's a little bit confusing because this'll is including all the different colors, not just the black.
So I think he buys Blackie by Let buys navy.
He buys Burgundy and he buys.
There were four of them.
I can't remember what the fourth color was.
Maybe pink.
Anyway, there were 25 of one of them, 25 of the other 10 and 10.
So the correct answer here is 70.
Okay, now let's start our time to read the questions for questions.
6 to 9, 6 to 10.
Label the diagram below.
Uh, no more than three words.
OK, this looks like to be fairly straightforward.
Choose the correct letter A, B or C.
How was the buyer going to be notified when the items were shipped via text message?
Your phone call via E mail.
Okay.
Fairly straightforward.
I think we should be okay.
Now listen and answer questions.
6 to 10.
So was there anything else you would like to pay today?
Um, yeah.
I'm interested in your clean away dog.
Tooth brushes, product code for that is a 61-93 But the image on the website isn't that clear.
Are the two brushes hollow?
Yes, they are.
They're designed to fit on the user's finger to allow for a more versatile cleaning of the dog's teeth.
At the base of the toothbrush, you see Thea Insertion point, and the insertion point is where the finger enters the toothbrush towards the tape of the chief brush.
You can see the bristles.
This is, of course, where you would need to a place special formulated pet toothpaste between the bristles on these insertion point is a long slit.
This slit allows the product effects different.
Hand, say's is on the back of the toothbrush is the outer shaft.
We've reinforced the outer shaft with additional plastic to make the product more durable, right?
If used three times a week, the product lifetime is one year.
That sounds great.
Okay, give me 500.
Half them in pink, half a blue.
Would disorder qualify for any discounts?
Actually, yes.
We knew by 400 or more, the unit price is reduced to $1.
98 per unit.
So this is a saving of 13%.
With this discount impact, the overall quantity discount, he said, that could be applied to the entire order.
I know that the quantity discount is calculated separately by my computer.
After we finish a king in your order, we can see how much quantity discount you are eligible for.
Were there any other products I could show you today?
No, I think that's it.
What's the total pricing?
Including all the fees and shipping them okay with taxes and fees.
The total cost for all three products shipped Express on Monday, July teeth would be $3377.86 orders of 2000 Maur received a quantity this kind of fight percent.
So your new total is actually $3209 6 I am assuming that you would like all three products ship together on the same date to avoid extra fees.
Right on should have charged this to the visa I have here on Fine.
Yes, to both questions.
Shipment together aren't charged that card thanks clean.
So to recount the order, we have 200 essential poppy playable chew toys with modified dimensions of number nine centimeters 70 winks, dog sleepers 25 in brown 25 Navy blue 10 and black and 10 embark Indy 500 Clean away.
Dog toothbrushes.
Half pink, half blue.
Is all of this correct?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Thanks to Thomas, please.
Your order.
Please expect to receive your tracking number of your email.
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
No, thank you.
Almost set.
Create.
Thank you for ordering from North Star pets.
A place?
Have a great day, Kate.
Stop it there.
Fairly straightforward.
The labeling might challenge your vocab a little bit.
The, uh, bottom parts of these dog toothbrushes is the insertion point, he says.
And then he describes the top here, and these are the bristles.
Okay, uh, this long area here that allows wth e products to stretch to open wider for larger hands.
He was saying, um, this is the slit.
And then on the outside, the reinforced backing he describes this as the outer shaft and number 10.
Very straightforward.
They even say the answer, um, is C He will be informed via email when the engines are shipped.
Okay, let's continue.
That is the end of section one.
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
Okay?
We feel confident about our answers and sexual one.
Let's go to section two eso here.
We have multiple choice.
Something called the C V X.
We're going to listen for what kind of driving key?
Uh, what does the c v X require To be able to connect to the Internet?
What does it require?
Key.
Okay, well, listen to these three things.
Okay?
Here we have a diagram.
Let's note that the numbers are not in order from left to right.
It starts at 13 and goes 14.
15.
So we're gonna listen for 13 1st than 14.
15 and onwards, And this is no more than three words and now tend to section two.
Section two.
You will hear the CEO of Winston Motors introducing a new vehicle.
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 17.
Okay, so these are the questions that we're going to be doing first, some people lose focus in this section here.
Looks fairly straightforward.
Multiple choice.
Uh, WiFi connection.
Mobile network smart device.
How does the cvx connect to the internet?
What does it require, and here it looks like some kind of compartment here.
This is pointing to the door.
Now listen carefully and answer questions.
11 to 17.
Good evening.
My name is Jack Samson, chief executive officer at Winston Motors Inc.
And I'm very pleased to announce in production off a new model to a 2014 lineup the compact vehicle experience or C v X, as we more lovingly call it.
Let me explain to you why we're so proud of this new addition to the Winston family.
You know, since its invention the 18 eighties, the automobile has undergone continuous innovation from rubber tires and speedometers, airbags and rear view cameras.
Motorized vehicles have evolved to meet the needs of humanity and are among the first out clothes for the latest and technological advances.
That's the challenges and concerns of today's driver of the focus off our vehicle.
Designers of Winston Climate change, pollution, increased urbanization on record oil prices, to name a few.
We'd Winston have been listening to our buyers, and I'm so proud to present the revolutionary cvx to you today.
More than five years ago, we set out with an idea to revolutionize the way people experience driving in the urban environment.
A team of engineers, software developers and designers have taken what was once only an idea and turned it into a reality.
The C V X is not only the most exciting car you live alone, it's also the most practical.
And over the next few minutes I'm going to guide you through some of the more important see the X innovations that you won't find in any other compacts.
Firstly, each of our vehicles allows for the seamless integration off your personal technology.
Like other cars, the cvx seamlessly connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
But the CVI eggs also boasts the capability of connecting to your computer tablet or other smart device, and it provides strong WiFi connection wherever.
For G lt More well, service can be found street music as you drive.
Surf the net while waiting to pick someone up.
Do a quick Google serves for that restaurant.
Your friend like don't Facebook.
Everything is right at your fingertips.
A patented WiFi receiver.
Run through the roof off the vehicle and get pick up even the weakest of signals, allowing you to access your move out Network almost anywhere, including the term parking garages.
A second, exciting innovation is that the C V X makes the hassle of changing a flat tire a thing of the past.
You see the X will likely detect the fight before you do on, indicate the flood to you by the communication screen built into the dashboard.
So simply pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and press the change tire option that appears on the communications screen.
The car will automatically raise itself.
Disconnect.
The flat you have to do is take the spare from the compartment in the hood of the car and place it on the exposed well.
Access.
The CVI eggs will take care of tightening and realigning the wheel.
In fact, the entire process takes less in two minutes.
1/3 innovation is the manner in which we designed the driver and passenger seats we'll see tomorrow, 30% thinner than our other models.
Driver and passenger leg room has been increased by 15% as a result, which means a vehicle is north only lighter but more comfortable in addition to this.
So neither say that the driver's head rest our speakers that aloe the driver to receive updates on things like city traffic and weather conditions.
And we've also taken security to another level with the C V X.
Unlocking the door and turning on the vehicle is done.
Remove Lee from your smart device where you would have once inserted a key.
There's no a date a receiver that can read a digital key transmitted from any Bluetooth capable device.
Because of this feature, you can say goodbye to lost car keys forever.
A final revolutionary change is the introduction of a smart windshield.
Her smart windshield can cater to driver visibility issues.
For example, intense sunlight causes the smart windshield to automatically tent no more dangerous fumbling for sunglasses on the sun visor and at night, the smart windshield.
It takes the headlights of oncoming traffic and dims of intensity.
It can also detect fog and other inclement weather Conditions on dhe left the driver of difficult to see obstacles, so that's a bit about the features.
You could expect experience with your CV eggs.
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 18 to 20 okay, and we will do that in a second.
Let's first go over the answers for this section.
So what kind of driving is the cvx designed for?
And this gentleman does not state the answer explicitly.
He says it's designed for urban driving.
Let's get that word up here, he said.
It's, uh, something about the driving in the urban environment.
The CDX has been designed for that, So this would, of course be answered.
A city driving 12.
What does the C B X require to be able to connect to the Internet?
Now it throws us off a little bit because it says it connects through a smartphone through Bluetooth.
But that's just the way that the core connects to the smartphone.
The way that the car the Cvx connect to the Internet is via a mobile service is what he says.
So the answer here would be a mobile network, Okay, and, uh, now we listened to the various parts of the car and he starts talking about the roof of the car.
I think he uses the word roof to describe it, and the roof of the car is where the WiFi receiver is and the number 14 so he spends quite a bit of time describing what to do when or if the C V X has a flat tire.
And he says that within the compartment in the front of the car is the spare tire, so number 14 would be spare tire compartment.
Okay, 15 s.
Oh, there's the driver.
And then I guess the pastor sits behind.
The driver's seat has speakers on either side of the headrest, so you could just write your speakers.
Now 16 he describes the door and how it has a safety feature and he says, where you would have once found a keyhole for your car door?
Uh, you there is now a data receiver.
And then he spends quite a bit of time talking about the windshield.
And this is not simply windshield.
This is what he describes is a smart man shield, so windshield that would be able to do certain things for the driver to help enhance their driving experience.
Okay, let's continue now.
We're given time to look at these questions.
Choose three letters.
A.
T G.
What three things does a driver require to be able to rent a CT X and Heatherington, a car sharing license a smart device and account on Heather Ringtones website.
A digital key bacon cvx, a data receiver, a laptop computer.
So let's listen.
I'm pretty sure that they will say this explicitly, because this this comes in a list.
So let's now listen and answer questions 18 to 20.
Okay, now I'd like to talk a bit about the C V X on society.
We'd Winston empathize with concerns everywhere over the environment and have done what we can to ensure the C V X is among the most environmentally friendly vehicles on the road.
The lightweight designed an extremely compact dimensions of our car means last fuel is used.
Cvx motor can be switched from petrol to electricity by selecting an option from the communications screen.
But perhaps our most environmentally friendly feature is that the CVI eggs, all those for car sharing.
Let me explain how this works.
As I pointed out earlier, each vehicle has a date a receiver built into the door, making it possible to unlock and start a cvx vehicle with a signal sent from your smartphone that this digital key can be shared to other smartphones via a text message.
The municipal government here in Heatherington has taken this technology a step further on what we're working with Winston voters to make 90 cvx is available publicly across the city.
What this means is that if you support a vacant cvx part of the side of the road, you can simply use your smart device to visit the Heatherington City website bunch of the vehicle's license plate number.
Make an online rental payment.
The digital key for the C V X is sent to your phone on with the minute you can unlock the vehicle and drive away.
Making personal vehicles publicly accessible like this means less cars on the road, and this is a project we at Winston Hope will catch on in larger cities.
Just imagine the implications this could have for traffic problems across the UK It's so exciting.
Oh, team is what's hard to take what was previously just a mere concept and turned it into reality.
We believe the C V X represents the next breakthrough in motorised technology cars that a design for the way we live, work and play in the urban environment that is the end of section to you now have half a minute to check your answers.
Okay, let's stop it there.
So a few little things that might have misled us.
He he talks about car sharing, but he doesn't mention anything about needing a specific sort of license.
Hey, does mention I don't think the first thing he mentions, but that a digital key would be sent to a smart device.
So to be able to open the door, you would need a smart device that is one of the three answers.
Oops!
On account on Heather Ringtones website again, a little bit misleading.
You do need to goto Heather ringtones website, he mentions, but he doesn't say anything about creating an account.
He says You just have to know the CVI exes license plate, and if you punch that into the website, you will be sent a digital key to your smart device.
So the other answer, then, is a digital key.
Um, a vacant cvx.
Yeah, he mentions.
If you see a CD X and and it's available, then you you you can rent it.
So the the other answer is E.
A data receiver doesn't mention anything about that and a laptop computer.
He doesn't mention anything specifically about that.
He says.
A smart device.
Okay, let's use our review.
Time to preview questions.
21 of 30.
Which statement applies to each of the following teams?
Okay, it's a matching.
Is equipment dependent?
Keyword is boys Only keyword could look for.
Could do a lot for students.
Morale.
Okay.
Key word here.
Um, had a great season.
Will likely here.
This is not mentioned.
Has several players on scholarship.
And so we have a girls basketball.
Now turn to section three.
Section three.
You will hear the headmaster and head coach of a college discussed varsity funding.
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
Okay.
Uh, field hockey team cricket team and question.
Now we'll likely hear this exact full cab in the listening.
And we're only asked to look at 21 to 24 so we will stop there.
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
So, as you know, we're here to discuss a few topics today.
Firstly, I wanted to address our concerns over varsity budgeting for the college is coming academic year.
Following this, let's talk about the issues you brought to my attention in your email.
That sounds fine.
So what your thoughts regarding sport budgeting for the well, we've had a great couple of seasons.
The senior girls basketball team, taking first place two years in a row, was obviously a highlight.
Senior boys, basketball and Ruby had great seasons, too.
Yes, indeed, yes, well noted, As you know, my goal is to get funding that would allow the college to branch out into other sports, more equipment dependent sport like cricket and field hockey.
It's a balancing act is there were already struggling to fund the various scholarships we have in play.
Attracting talented young people is important, so I would hesitate shifting funds from our scholarship for you.
Yes, I'd agree.
The only point I make is that we can't underestimate the value of having a recognized brand for the college.
The more sport we participate in and participate well in, the more popular the college will be among prospective students.
So what do you suggest, Mary?
Well, currently, we are for 18 sport based scholarships to nine talented young men and nine talented young women.
If we could reduce this to 14 we could put the safety funds towards establishing cricket teams for both senior boys and girls.
I'm sure the first couple of seasons would be a little rough, but our ferree into cricket would likely be great for the colleges, image and popularity among prospective students.
You do realize that by reducing the number of sports scholarships, we all would also be reducing the number of unique, be talented students that walk through our door.
I've taken that into consideration, yes, but I think the college has the opportunity to grow into something Maur you write.
The initial move to reduce the number of scholarships will likely reduce our talent pool for a few years, but the exposure will get from being involved in more sport.
Well, in my opinion makers attractive to increasing amounts of future talent.
Well, yes, you make a good case.
And don't forget the effect of cricket team would have on our student morale.
Yes, I suppose that's true.
I'll make a note to bring this up, but Friday's faculty meeting they'll want a weigh in before any decisions are made.
Could I ask you to join an address them as you've addressed me today?
Of course.
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at question.
Stop it there.
So the all of these things Air mentioned, I do believe, but they do not all connect to the team's listed in questions 21 to 24.
So the girls basketball team had a great season, so the answer here would be D.
Okay.
Field hockey is something the female teacher wants to get into the school, and she describes it as an equipment dependents sport.
So the answer for 22 would be a the cricket team.
She explicitly mentions that the cricket team would do a lot for the morale of the students at the school.
So she's trying to encourage the headmaster to consider this as a sport for future years at school and equestrian.
They talk very quickly, so I'm not sure if any of what they were saying sounded like the word equestrian.
But this does not appear anywhere in the listing.
So the answer here is e is not mentioned.
Okay, now we're given some time to pre.
Is it time to 30 20 130 Choose three letters.
It f which three what three colors make up the colleges.
Varsity colors.
Okay, that will be very straightforward.
Let's continue, right.
No more than two words and or a number for the falling the rugby pitch schedule.
Okay, senior boys, we're gonna have the teams on the side.
We have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
These days will appear in the lists, Alison, and answer questions 25 to 30.
Okay, Right.
Let's move on to our second issue for the day.
The boys football team.
Now, you said you wanted my input on something.
Yes.
Well, we've got a couple of issues.
Firstly, regarding the order for new uniforms.
We've received a sample.
The college colossal.
There.
We've got Burgundy, white and navy.
But the shorts, Aaron Burgundy.
Traditionally, we've had them in Navy.
Strange.
I'm not sure who awarded them in Burgundy, so it's an oversight on our suppliers part.
No problem.
Just to check with you to see if this was an intentional decision on your part, I'll contact the supplier and rectify this great.
The only other thing in the schedule this year.
I was hoping to arrange the senior boys work practices for Monday and Wednesdays from 3 15 to 4 45 The boys football practices would remain at their normal time Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The normal time being the same time.
Actually, 3 15 to 4 45 Okay.
And how about the senior girls?
I was thinking to have them follow the same schedule, but on alternate days.
So senior girls rugby would be Tuesdays and Thursdays on the rugby pitch.
Right?
And senior girls football would be on the football pitch Mondays and Wednesdays.
Yeah, that should work.
Yeah.
Have the schedule printed out and run it past the secretaries.
They should be able to arrange pitch scheduling.
Terrific.
Right.
Then I'll leave you to it.
Thanks very much for the time.
My pleasure.
Mary.
Bonnie.
For now, that is the okay, Soo.
Let's go back up to the three colors.
Very straightforward.
I believe she lists thumb twice.
Uh, and the three killers are navy, white and burgundy.
So see?
Hey, a navy went and burned in the F.
Okay, The schedule.
They sure the answer for 29 1st but then they go back, and they I believe the headmaster reiterates what the teacher says.
So they go through things one by one.
The senior boys.
Rugby is Monday and Wednesday.
And then they say that the senior boys, um football would be happening on ultimate days.
That's what the teacher mentioned.
So the ants for 29 would be the senior boys for football.
And then they mentioned that the same schedule is followed by senior girls.
But on opposite days, you girls and year girls.
Okay, let's continue the end of section three.
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
Okay, We're gonna go on in section four.
Uh, clean the flow chart.
Blow.
Choose no more than three words and or a number for each.
So the extinction of the Great Auk.
The radar was heavily hunted from the eighth century onwards.
OK?
In Britain on 15 53 this will be stated.
Britton attempted to the protection.
Okay, this will be a verb protection of the great auk.
The ban on gray dog hunting in Newfoundland applied on Lee if it's were sought and sort of the past tense of Sikh.
So the great now turn to Section four, Section four.
You will hear a lecture on the extinction off the great auk.
First you have some time to look at questions.
31 to 37 s o the great auk Ban the readout.
Monkey hunting ban.
It only applies if a certain thing connected to the grid Doc was sought.
It was last spotted in Britain in the year.
Of course, this will be a number Will listen that the absolute final sighting but occurred in 18 12 37.
The Great walk was a small, flightless bird, approximately three feet tall.
A superior swimmer, it's spent most of its life in water coming to land only to breed.
He did so in select breeding grounds, the densest of which, with the rocky shores of new found land.
But the great talks habitat wasn't limited to this region alone.
It spread right across to the northern islands of Europe, including Iceland and the British Isles.
Its population has been suggested to have been in the very low millions at its peak.
Let's pause here a second.
I hope you noticed that I delivered my introduction to the great walk using the past tense.
This was entirely intentional.
You see, the great talk is no longer with us.
It is a species that has regretfully become extinct as far back as the mid 15 hundreds.
People were where the great talk was in danger of extinction.
Hunted since the eighth century, legislation was created in 15 53 to protect orcs in Britain for fear their numbers would start to dwindle.
A similar ban of Rosen's and John's new found land stipulating that a great or could be killed for food or fish bait, but not for its feathers.
Despite these efforts, poaching continued unabated.
The last great walk in the UK was killed in 18 40 by superstitious sailors who thought the orc brought a curse to their ship.
Four years later, the last sighted pair of walks in the world were killed in Iceland.
Now you may be asking yourself why the great auk became extinct when so many other similar birds did not.
The reason for this is it's localized nature.
This was a bird that was picky about its habitat on a such concentrated itself to relatively few areas across the North Atlantic, it had only 20 breeding grounds, for example, it was also a bird that was easy to catch, and it's meat was prized as inexpensive fishing bent for fishermen working in the North Atlantic.
The great talk was an easy and inexpensive means of lowering large fishing holes.
The great Orcs disappearance is also remarkable in that it was one of the first well documented extinctions before you hear the rest of the conversation.
Okay, Okay, so she goes through each of the questions one by one, and a few of the questions are a little bit in directs.
You had to listen for synonyms, but I imagine that you probably got a few of these answers.
So the Great Out was heavily hunted from the eighth century onwards in 50 53 Britton attempted to the protection of the great Auk.
Now she she used the word legislation.
I believe she says something to the effect bring legislation into place or something like that.
So we have to convert that into a verb so it would fit here.
So the answer would be legislative.
The ban on great auk hunting in Newfoundland, Newfoundland, applied on Lee if its feathers were sought.
So I believe she talks about how fishermen were allowed to hunt it if they were going to use it as bait.
But it could not be hunted for its feathers feathers.
It was last spotted in Britain in the year.
This is a little bit indirect because they she mentions that the it was last killed in Britain or was last hunted in Britain, buying superstition, superstitious sailors.
So the year here was 18 40 and then she doesn't say 18 40 directly, she says four years later.
So the absolute final setting of a knock occurred in.
Now we have the year, so this can't be a year.
It's gonna be a location, and the location is Iceland.
The great auk had few, and this contributed to its small numbers.
I believe this is one of the few questions that was that was fairly in keeping with the exact wording that she uses.
So Thea answer here is breeding grounds.
And I think she says something very similar to this, that the Great Auk had few breeding grounds.
This contributed to its small numbers.
Fishermen caught great talk to use as baked for fishing.
Beat The extension of the great Auk is among the first well documented extinctions with every last thing, she says in the listening.
Okay, and let's continue, you will have some time to look at questions 38 to 40.
Choose three answers.
A.
T.
G.
What, three things Has the disappearance of the great auk help achieve que recognition for extinction patterns?
Okay, ethical fishing practices.
Probably a synonym systems for categorizing an animal's level of endangerment and understanding of of animal extinction in the North Atlantic.
Legislation against poaching, which means to kill illegally hunted legally.
Now listen, Kev or animal breeding ground dangerous from press.
We're lucky to have the records we do of great orc numbers, as this sort of information has helped us create systems for categorizing and animals level of endangerment.
It also helps us study patterns of extinction as animal behavior tends to change when their populations decrease past a certain level.
But perhaps what this extinction teaches us most of all is the need to recognize dangerous human trends.
Great orc poaching increased on both sides of the Atlantic in response to tremendous growth in worldwide fishing industries.
Today, there are handfuls of similar cases that require the awareness of the entire human family.
The great Orc ax is a reminder of humanity's responsibility to living things everywhere.
That is the end of Section four.
Okay, very brief.
So she mentions a few things that would mislead us.
You probably heard her mention the North Atlantic, but she doesn't really explicitly say an understanding of animal extinction in the North Atlantic, so that would not be one of the answers she does state.
And I believe it's very much in keeping with this phrase systems for categorizing and animals level of endangerment.
So let's put that as our first answer.
She mentions recognition for extinction patterns, so a would be another ethical fishing practices.
There's no mention of that.
Um, let's see legislation against poaching again.
There's no real mention of that Maur animal breeding grounds again, no mention of that recognition of dangerous human practices.
That's something that she alludes to in the listing.
So the final answer would be so.
I hope this exercise was helpful.
Thank you for listening.
