user: Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Two new whale sharks arrived at the world's largest aquarium   on Friday. Both whale sharks, the world's largest fish, arrived at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta after 6 a.m. The pair had been flown 8,000 miles from Taipei, Taiwan. They will join the aquarium's three whale sharks--the only ones on display outside of Asia. " We re the only people in the world that can claim   three times, " aquarium director Jeff Swanagan said, " Each time we learn more and more." The two young males were given Asian names. One is Taroko, named after Taroko Gorge, a national park in Taiwan. The other is Yushan, which means "Jade Mountain", and is named after a mountain in Taiwan. The sharks were flown from Taiwan on a plane in 20-foot-long tanks with oxygen    machines and other equipment to keep the water suitable for them. They arrived at about 3:30 a.m. in Atlanta, where their tanks were moved to two trucks and driven to the aquarium surrounded by some of Atlanta police cars with their blue lights flashing. They were lowered into their new home--as Norton and two females, Alice and Trixie, circled nearby, seemingly curious about the new arrivals. It is difficult to tell the age of the whale sharks, but at least one of the new arrivals is believed to be the smallest the aquarium has got. They are believed to be the aquarium's youngest whale sharks yet. Question: The passage makes us believe that   _  . Options: A: the author helped ship the sharks B: the author loves sharks too much C: the two new sharks are younger than the former ones D: Sharks are widely seen across the world

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "Old wives' tales" are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example,most of us remember our parents' telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking,but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes?

Garlic is good for you,too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds. Unfortunately, not all of Mom's advice passed the test of medical studies.
