Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Creative conservationist Asher Jay is a designer, artist, writer, and activist who is trying to save the world's most threatened wildlife with an unusual weapon: Art. "Today we need everyone's involvement, not just core conservationists," says Jay. " People with no previous interest in conservation tune in to my messages because they engage with my work aesthetically. It starts as an interest in art for art's sake and ends with making lifestyle changes." The New York-based artist has become a visual voice for a range of environmental causes. In Africa, screen savers glow with Jay's graphics of a Poached rhino horn dripping with blood. Jay's cartoons of elephants killed for their tusks have been shown in New York's Times Square, wild other works have spread worldwide on social media. "The right image can overcome language and cultural barriers, connecting with people on a non-verbal, emotional level," she says. "It all starts with making an emotional impression on one person. Only then will someone change habits, speak out, or donate." In recent years, much of Jay's best known work has focused on the illegal ivory trade. In 2012, she created a silk screen print, showing a stark image of an elephant's head silhouetted in black, dripping with red blood, and accented by a tusk decorated with images of elephants' families. "Every tusk costs a life," said accompanying text. "Stop poaching." "I wanted to visualize the scale and brutality of the crisis and use art to tell the blood ivory story," she says. "Every year, 35,000 elephants are slaughtered; that's one every 15 minutes." "Two-thirds of Africa's elephants have been killed for tusks in the last 35 years. If this continues, experts predict elephants in the wild will be extinct in less than ten years." Much of Jay's work around poaching aims simply to correct a widespread misunderstanding. "Many people think an elephant's tusk or a rhino's horn simply falls off, like losing a tooth. My goal," she says, "is to make them understand that elephants die painful...

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: New Zealand will create one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, spanning an area of 620,000 sq km. The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary will be one of the world's most significant fully protected ecosystems, the prime minister of New Zealand, John Key, told the UN General Assembly in New York. The sanctuary is in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 km north-east of New Zealand, and expands a marine reserve that surrounds some small islands. The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world's seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world's longest chain of underwater volcanoes and the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater -- deeper than Mount Everest's height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf any previous New Zealand's protected area, spanning twice the size of the country's mainland. It will cover 15% of New Zealand's economic zone. Commercial and recreational fishing will be completely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting , exploration and mining. Key's government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year. "The sanctuary is a world-class, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,"Key said."New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are committed to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand's efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources." Nick Smith, New Zealand's environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place."New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing,... Question: What can we infer from what Nick Smith said? - New Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas. - The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand's mining industry. - New Zealand hasn't figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources. - Measures should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations.
A: The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand's mining industry.
