Read the following passage then choose the best answer to the following questions.

The Peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of extinction. In the 1960s, scientists discovered byproducts of the pesticide DDT in the birds' eggs, which caused them to be too soft to survive. The use of the pesticide had been banned in the United States, but the falcons were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used. In order to increase the survival rate, scientists were raising the birds in laboratories and then releasing them into mountainous areas. This practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild.

There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild. A falcon that has been given the name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in the city. Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett into cities rather than into their natural wild habitat. These urban releases are becoming a common way to strengthen the species. Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not. First, there is an abundance of pigeons and small birds as food sources. The Peregrine in the city is also protected from its main predator, the great horned owl. Urban release programs have been very successful in reestablishing the Peregrine falcons along the East Coast. Though they are still an endangered species, their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs in 1992. In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without human help.

What is the main topic of the passage?

Harmful effects of pesticides
Endangered species
Survival of peregrine falcons
Releases into the wild

Why were the peregrine falcons in danger?

Because they were prized by hunters and hunted to near extinction.
Because they ate fruits that were contaminated with pesticides.
Because they ate birds from other countries where DDT was still used.
Because they migrated to countries where their eggs could not survive.

In paragraph 1, the word "banned" could be best replaced by _____.

developed
authorized
upgraded
prohibited

According to the passage, where have the release programs been successful?

On the West Coast
On the East Coast
On the North Coast
On the South Coast

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason why a falcon might choose to live in a city?

There is abundant food.
