For the question use the poem below:
Eating Poetry
(Mark Strand)
Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.
The librarian does not believe what she sees.
Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.
The poems are gone.
The light is dim.
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.
Their eyeballs roll,
their blond legs burn like brush.
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.
She does not understand.
When I get on my knees and lick her hand,
she screams.
I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

Read the text below to answer the question:
ICEBERG A68a
An enormous iceberg that is heading toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean has broken up into three large chunks. Scientists from NASA have been tracking the berg - dubbed A68a - for several weeks. It actually calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in 2017 and has been floating northwards ever since. In recent weeks, a fast-moving stream of water known as the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front has put the chunks on a trajectory that means they could run aground off the coast of South Georgia. Scientists say the three fragments are roughly 2,600 square kilometres in size. The submerged part of one chunk is 106 metres at its thickest point.
The sheer bulk of the three iceberg chunks poses a serious threat to the wildlife of South Georgia. There could be an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. If the three mini icebergs collide with the seabed, they could obstruct penguins and seals from foraging for fish. They could also block the route between penguin colonies and their feeding grounds during the breeding season. Scientists worry the underside of the fragments could grind the seabed near South Georgia and disrupt delicate underwater ecosystems. This could be exacerbated by the introduction of a mass of fresh water to the ecosystems as the stationary fragments melt over the summer months.

According to the text:
I-The A68a iceberg has been tracked by scientists since 1968 and since 2017 it floats northward.
II-The three fragments together are approximately 2,600 square kilometers in size and the submerged part of them is 106 meters at its thickest point.
III- The Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front has placed the pieces of the iceberg on a trajectory that means they could be stranded off the coast of South Georgia.
IV- Due to the large size of the icebergs, they can represent a threat to the human life, fauna and flora of South Georgia.
About the sentences above:
Leia o texto abaixo para responder a questão.
A rare plant has reappeared after more than a century in hiding.
The pinkish-flowered plant, known as grass-poly, was found growing on the banks of an old farmland pond in Norfolk.
The mystery species "came back from the dead" after seeds submerged in the mud were disturbed during work to restore the pond.
The seeds of the plant remained buried in the mud, like a "time capsule". When willows were pulled out to restore the pond, this disturbed the soil and let in light, allowing the seeds to germinate.
"There's no oxygen, it's very dark, and it's perfect for preserving seeds," says Prof Sayer, who is
part of UCL's Pond Restoration Research Group.
The discovery shows plants believed extinct can be brought "back to life" with good conservation,
he added.
