(1) Some people believe that keeping animals captive in zoos is cruel because the animals are robbed of living a natural life in the wild. (2) However, for an animal, life in a good zoo—one that provides both a stimulating habitat similar to the animals’ native environment and excellent care for animals—is often far better alternative to life in the wild. (3) For one thing, a zoo animal is provided with daily meals and does not have to endure the constant search for food. (4) In the wild, that animal would spend its every waking moment trying to avoid starvation. (5) In a zoo environment, however, that same animal can spend its days relaxing or romping with its fellow creatures. (6) Second, a zoo animal is safe and protected. (7) In the wilderness, many animals must endure the constant distress of being hunted by humans or other animals or becoming homeless due to destruction of their habitats. (8) In a zoo, this stress is eliminated, and the animals can live more peaceful lives. (9) Third, if an animal does become injured or sick, that animal will not suffer as it would in the wild. (10) Instead, it will receive medical care that will reduce its pain and speed the healing process. A) Sentence 3 B) Sentence 5 C) Sentence 6 D) Sentence 9

(1) Readers now can obtain most books in either traditional printed form or electronic,e-book, form.(2) These two options differ in several ways. (3) The first difference is their portability. (4) Traditional printed texts can be bulky and heavy to lug around, especially when the reader wants to carry several books at one time. (5) E-books, on the other hand, are stored digitally in a slim,
lightweight e-reader device such as a Kindle or iPad, so it's much easier for readers to transport multiple books. (6) However, unlike print books, e-books are not suitable for places like the beach or the bathtub, where e-reader devices could be damaged by water. (7) Another difference between printed books and e-books is their price. (8) Paper-and-ink books are usually more expensive because of the costs involved in printing, storing, and distributing them. (9) In contrast, e-books are delivered digitally, so they cost less. (10) A new book that's sold in print form for $24 .99 will typically cost only $9 .99 in e-book form. (11) A third difference between print books and e-books is readability. (12) Printed books, of course, can be read just about anywhere, but e-books are often difficult to see in brighter light outdoors. (13) Finally, the two options differ in terms of the reading experience they provide. (14) Despite the advantages of e-books, many readers still prefer the sensory pleasures of holding and turning the pages of a printed book, which are missing when reading a text on a screen. (15) Because the pagination of e-book texts differs from those of print texts, it's difficult to refer to specific page numbers during a class or book club meeting. Which of the following is NOT a transitional expression used in the paragraph to indicate comparison or contrast? A) on the other hand B) however C) in contrast D) of course
