Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

For decades, the Santa Cruz Island fox faced a silent threat that brought it to the edge of extinction. Measuring no larger than a house cat, this unique predator is found only on the Channel Islands off the coast of California. By the late 1990s, the population had plummeted by over 95%, leaving fewer than a hundred individuals in the wild. This dramatic decline was a textbook case of an ecosystem out of balance, triggered by human activity and the arrival of invasive species.

The crisis began when bald eagles, which originally inhabited the islands and ate fish, disappeared due to chemical pollution. This allowed golden eagles from the mainland to move into the empty territory. Unlike bald eagles, golden eagles hunted land mammals, making the small, daylight-active foxes easy prey. Simultaneously, escaped domestic pigs began to roam the island, providing a steady food source that kept the golden eagle population high.

To reverse this disaster, conservationists launched an ambitious integrated recovery plan. First, they relocated the golden eagles back to the mainland and reintroduced bald eagles to reclaim their territory. Next, they removed the feral pigs to eliminate the eagles' secondary food source. Finally, a captive breeding programme was established to safely increase fox numbers before releasing them back into the wild. Today, the population has rebounded to sustainable levels, proving that with precise scientific intervention, even a species on the brink of vanishing can be brought back to life.

According to paragraph 2, why did golden eagles move to the Channel Islands?

  • To find a new home after chemical pollution destroyed the mainland
  • To be used by humans to hunt the large population of domestic pigs
  • To take over the empty territory left behind after bald eagles disappeared
  • To escape from other dangerous predators living on the California coast

According to paragraph 2, what was the main problem caused by the arrival of the golden eagles?

  • They caught the fish that the bald eagles needed to survive.
  • They hunted land animals and easily caught the small foxes.
  • They fought with the bald eagles and forced them to leave the island.
  • They destroyed the natural areas where the small foxes usually hid.

The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

  • conservationists
  • feral pigs
  • golden eagles
  • island foxes

Which of these was NOT part of the fox recovery plan?

  • Bringing bald eagles back to their original island home
  • Capturing golden eagles and moving them back to the mainland
  • Cleaning up the chemical pollution in the ocean water
  • Breeding foxes in a safe place before releasing them into the wild

The word "plummeted" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.

  • dropped
  • increased
  • changed
  • survived

What can we understand about the bald eagles from the passage?

  • They were more dangerous to the foxes than the golden eagles were.
  • If they had not disappeared, the fox population likely would not have dropped.
  • They preferred hunting land mammals like pigs over eating fish.
  • They often fought with golden eagles over the same nesting areas.

Why did conservationists decide to remove the pigs from the island?

  • To take away a major food source so golden eagles would not want to stay
  • To stop the pigs from eating the foxes’ food and destroying their nests
  • To protect the bald eagles that were being brought back to the island
  • To give the foxes more space to run away from the golden eagles

Which of the following best explains the sentence below?

"This dramatic decline was a textbook case of an ecosystem out of balance [...]"

  • Human actions and new species destroyed the environment so the foxes could never return.
  • The drop in fox numbers is a perfect example of what happens when the balance of nature is upset.
  • The decrease in foxes caused by environmental damage is mentioned in textbooks.
  • Humans and new species worked together to help the predators on the island survive.
