Q: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: An endangered deer with vampire-like fangs was spotted for the first time in nearly 60 years, in a remote forest in northeastern Afghanistan. The fanged creature is known as the Kashmir musk deer, and it is native to the Himalayas of northern India, Pakistan's Kashmir region and northern Afghanistan. Only the male deer have fangs, and they use them during mating season to compete for females. A team of researchers scoured Afghanistan's Nuristan province during 2008 and 2009, and recorded five sightings of the animal. This was the first time the species had been spotted since 1948. During the survey, the researchers spotted a single male Kashmir musk deer near the same area three separate times. The researchers also recorded one female and her baby, and saw a second single female that they think may have been the same deer, without her baby. These musk deer are classified as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. Musk-deer meat is a local delicacy, but the species is mostly hunted for its scent glands that are more valuable by weight than gold -- some believe the glands have pharmaceutical properties, and they sell for nearly $20,455 per pound ($45,000 per kilogram) on the black market, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Three decades of war have ravaged Nuristan province, and the continued violence and political instability make the black-market trade of scent glands uncontrollable. Furthermore, the species is quickly losing suitable habitat. All of the musk deer were spotted on sheltered rocky outcrops around 9,843 feet (3,000 meters) high. In the summer, they regularly trek along steep slopes that make them almost impossible to approach and keep them ly safe from hunters. However, heavy snowfall in the winter drives the species farther down, to more human-accessible slopes, and hunters come from all over the country to stalk the deer for their valuable scent glands. Due to violence and unrest, nongovernmental... Question: Which factor does not contribute to the uncontrollable trade in the black market? Options: A: Government control. B: Continued violence. C: Political instability. D: Years of war.

(Question)
Read the 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... Question: What is this passage mainly about? Options: A: An artist's animal work aims to stop animal slaughter. B: The risk of extinction for wild animals in Jay's works. C: A new way to stop illegal trade designed by an artist. D: How people hunt and abuse wild animals.
