Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a
Florida panther, one of only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to
save these remaining panthers from extinction, but their secretive nature is making it difficult.
They are attaching a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow their
movements, range, and habits. The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before
them have attached tiny transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds,
fish, and big cats. So the Florida scientists are using their methods. Firstly, they must trap and
tranquillize the panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped to the
panther’s body. Each harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits
comfortably. Scientists don’t want the transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits.
The point of tracking them is to find out as much as they can about their natural habits.
Once the tracking transmitter is in place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting
satellite.The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the panther, even when it is out
of sight of a biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter
about the panther’s exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to
Earth so it can be recorded by the scientists.
