1 The Swansea-based scientist spent years piecing together ____ ancient DNA 2 puzzle that suggests hunting by humans caused this giant seabird's demise.
3 Dr Thomas studied bone and tissue samples from 41 museum specimens
4 during a PhD at both Bangor and Copenhagen University.
5 The findings paint a picture ____ how vulnerable even the most common
6 species are to human exploitation.
7 Storybook seabird
8 About 80cm (2ft 7in) tall, the stubby-winged and bulbous-billed great auks
9 used to be found all across the north Atlantic - from North America through
10 Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia and the UK.
11 "Being flightless, they were always targeted ____ local people for food and for 12 their feathers," says Dr Thomas.
13 "But around 1500, when European seamen discovered the rich fishing
14 grounds off Newfoundland, hunting intensified."
15 By about 1850, the great auk was extinct; the last two known specimens were 16 hunted down by fishermen on Eldey Island, off the coast of Iceland.
17 The songbird obsession that became an extinction crisis
18 A third of tropical plants face extinction
19 Five ways to climate proof the world
20 One of these signatures might be a lack of genetic diversity, suggesting
21 individuals were inbreeding and the species, as a whole, was becoming
22 vulnerable to disease or environmental change.
23 "But their genetic diversity was very high - all but two sequences we found
24 were very different," Dr Thomas said.
25 In fact, the genetic timeline Dr Thomas and her colleagues were able to create 26 - published in the journal eLife - showed that, at the time the intensive great 27 auk hunting began, the species was doing "really well".
28 "They weren't at risk of extinction at all," said Dr Thomas.
29 "It emphasizes how vulnerable even the widespread and abundant species
30 are to this intensive, localized pressure."

“An aspect of play that Vygotsky referred to was the development of social rules that develop, for example, when children play house and adopt the roles of different family members. Vygotsky cites an example of two sisters playing at being sisters.”
In the context above, it may be correct to observe that:
“I studied in a public school and I wouldn’t really learn English there. So, I asked my father to pay an English course to me. He couldn’t, but he did. In the English course, I really started learning. I wanted to go to class every day. I was in love with English.”
By the speech above, we may observe that:
I. The narratives illustrate that in the language school it is possible to learn, but not in the regular school. In addition, most subjects describe English learning in public schools as “bad” and “not motivating”;
II. The reasons mentioned by the subjects are varied, but they usually highlight the emphasis on grammar aspects and teachers’ inability to teach the language;
III. The regular school, therefore, is seen as a place where the students’ expectations are met, whereas the language school is seen as an investment, as a place where you can rarely learn the language.
Indicate the correct alternative according to the context.
