-
A.
To keep many animals from danger of extinction, a list has been made in a Red Book. -
B.
So many animals are now in danger of extinction that a list of them is kept in a Red Book -
C.
So many animals are now in danger of extinction so that a list of them is kept in a Red Book. -
D.
So many animals are now in danger of extinction as to keep a list of them in a Red Book.
Reference explanation:
Correct Answer: GET
The answer is NO
Topic: Too many animals are now in danger of extinction. Then a list of species is saved in the Red Book.
Consider the answers:
A. In order to keep many animals from extinction, a list has been made in the Red Book => Misinterpretation
B. So many animals are now in danger of extinction that a list of them is kept in the Red Book => True
C. Many animals are now endangered so that a list of them is kept in the Red Book => Misunderstanding
D. Too many animals are currently endangered to save a list of them in the Red Book => Misunderstanding
Other structures of note: In danger of = on the verge of: on the verge of.
===============
As human populations and development continue to grow, so does the number of species of animals in danger of extinction. In an effort to monitor and protect these at-risk species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has created a Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the Red Book. The Red Book is a comprehensive list of all species at risk of extinction and is used to inform conservation efforts and policies.
The Red Book categorizes species into one of nine categories, ranging from “Least Concern” to “Extinct”. Species that are considered to be at risk of extinction are placed in the categories of “Vulnerable”, “Endangered”, or “Critically Endangered”. Species that have already gone extinct, or are likely to go extinct soon, are placed in the “Extinct” category.
The Red Book is continually updated as new species are added and old ones are removed. It is also used to track the progress of conservation efforts for species at risk of extinction. For example, if a species is listed as “Endangered” in the Red Book, but is later reclassified as “Vulnerable”, this indicates that conservation efforts have been successful and the species is no longer at risk of extinction.
In recent years, the Red Book has grown to include more than 26,000 species of animals, plants, and fungi. This includes iconic species such as the Giant Panda, the African Elephant, and the Sumatran Tiger. Unfortunately, many of these species are still in danger of extinction, and the Red Book is used to track their progress and inform conservation efforts.
The Red Book is an invaluable tool for conservationists, scientists, and policymakers alike. By keeping track of species at risk of extinction, the Red Book helps to inform and prioritize conservation efforts. Without it, many species would be lost forever.
