Mammals: Whales

People often think of whales as the largest fish in the ocean. However, whales are not fish at all! Like humans, whales are mammals, but since they live in the ocean, they are known as marine mammals. The blue whale is the largest living mammal on earth. What sets whales apart from fish is that they have lungs. This means that they cannot breathe underwater and need to swim to the surface for air. Dolphins are another type of marine mammal that need to come to the surface of the water for air. Unlike fish, whales do not lay eggs, but give birth to live young. Whales are also warm-blooded, which means that they need to eat food on a regular basis to keep themselves warm. This is why whales have a thick layer of fat on their body that helps them stay warm in the freezing temperatures of the ocean water.

Passage 2

Mammals: Walruses

Walruses are one of the best-known marine mammals. Although they are considered marine mammals, they can survive on land and in water. Walruses are found in the cold regions of the Arctic, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. Since walruses are warm-blooded, they have a thick layer of fat on their bodies to keep themselves warm. They also have thick flippers that help them catch fish in water and move around on land. Walruses can stay underwater for about 30 minutes, which helps them hunt for shrimp, crabs, and corals.
Since walruses are mammals, they directly give birth to their young. Also, being mammals, walruses nurse their young for a year after birth. Their breeding process takes place in the ocean, but their babies are born on land. Like walruses, seals are mammals that have the ability to survive on land and in water. The typical lifespan of walruses is 40 years.

After reading both passages, what can the reader understand about marine mammals?
A.
Marine mammals only have fish and corals in their diet.
B.
Most marine mammals live in cold regions such as the Arctic.
C.
Marine mammals can stay on land only for a short period of time.
D.
Most marine mammals live in water, but some can also survive on land.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!

Answer:

D.

Most marine mammals live in water, but some can also survive on land.

Explanation:

According to evidences derived from both passages, we could conclude that most marine mammals live in water, such as Whales, Dolphins and Walruses. The are mammals as they exhibit various mammalian characteristics such as the possession of lungs, being warm blooded as opposed to cold blooded and the ability to give birth to their young ones live without having to lay eggs, such as Whales. However, their primary habitat is usually in water , which is a marine environment, reason they are tagged marine mammals. However, from the passage, we could conclude that Walruses which is also a marine mammal has the ability to survive and give birth to their young ones on land. Seals are also marine mammals capable of surviving on land.

Benefits of Frozen Food
In today's fast-paced life, having a freshly cooked meal every day may not be practical. To deal with this problem, people have the option of frozen food. Freezing is a good way to preserve the taste and color of most foods. Freezing stops microbes, which are small microorganisms, from growing on the food, and helps to keep food fresher for a prolonged period.
Frozen foods are also useful because supermarkets can store them for a long time, so one can buy frozen fruits and vegetables all year round, without seasonal boundaries. Furthermore, frozen foods make cooking much easier and quicker, because most frozen foods are already half-cooked, chopped, or cut. These half-cooked frozen foods often contain a lot of preservatives such as salt and sugar, which are bad for health. But, they also help make life simpler for those who do not have the time to cook food from scratch. For example, a frozen apple pie is already put together—all one has to do is bake it.
At home, people can cook a number of dishes when they have the time. In fact, there is no comparison to a delicious, hot meal cooked at home with the freshest ingredients. However, frozen foods can be stored for several weeks or months, making them the best choice if one wants to have meals that are instantly ready for consumption.

5
