Hawksbill turtle is one of the animals which are critically endangered. They become endangered because of two reasons: climate change and human's greed. The climate change causes the loss of habitat and reduce the existance of coral reefs, hawksbill turtle's source of food. Sadly, humans kill this turtle for their flesh and shells, and eat their eggs. Not particularly large compared to other sea turtles, hawksbills grow up to about 1 meter in shell length and 68 kilograms in weight. While young, their carapace, or upper shell, is heart-shaped, and as they mature it elongates. Their strikingly colored carapace is serrated and has overlapping scutes, or thick bony plates. The hawksbill turtle's tapered head ends in a sharp point resembling a bird's beak, hence its name A further distinctive feature is a pair of claws adorning each. flipper. Male hawksbills have longer claws, thicker tails, and somewhat brighter coloring than females. Hawksbill turtles are found throughout the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. They avoid deep waters, preferring coastlines where the sponges they like to feed on are abundant, and sandy nesting sites are within reach. These highly migratory reptiles help maintain a healthy coral reef ecosystem. Hawksbills are omnivorous and will also eat mollusks, marine algae, crustaceans, sea urchins, fish, and jellyfish. Their hard shells protect them from many predators, but they still fall prey to large fish, sharks, crocodiles, octopuses, and humans.14.

Answer
Sansivieria (Sanseviera trifasciata) is also known as the snake plant or mother-in- law's tongue. It is one of the most popular and hardy species of houseplants. Sansiviera is a member of the Asparagacea family- a relative family of garden asparagus. Sansivieria generally can be divided into two basic categories based on the leaves: hard-leaves and soft-leaves. The hard-leaves are well-suited to desert environment and has thick, succulent leaves for storing water, while the soft-leaves grow in tropical/subtropical environment and has wide and strap-like shape. The flowers are usually greenish-white, also rose, lilac-red, brownish, produced on a simple or branched raceme. The fruit is a red or orange berry.In nature, they are pollinated by moths, but both flowering and fruiting are erratic and few seeds are produced. A flowered shoot will no longer produce new leaves. Unlike plants which die after flowering, a bloomed shoot will simply cease to produce new leaves. The flowered shoot continues to grow by producing plantlets via its rhizomes or stolons.Plants can be propagated by seed, leaf-cutting, and division. Seeds are rarely used, as plants can normally be grown much faster from cuttings or divisions. As many cultivars are periclinal chimeras, they do not come true to type from leaf cuttings, and therefore must be propagated by rhizome division to retain the variegation.Sansevierias helps purifying air by removing some toxins from the air. They absorb carbon dioxide at night and release oxygen during daylight. Nighttime absorption of carbon dioxide makes them suitable for bedroom plants. However, since the leaves are potentially poisonous if ingested, they are not usually recommended for children's bedrooms.6.What is the purpose of the text?a. To entertain people with the description of sansevierias.b. To explain ways of planting sansevierias.c. To describe sansevierias in terms of their general aspects. d. To give descriptions about sansivierias as houseplants.7. The second paragraph talks about sansevierias in terms of their.... a.habitatb. propagationc. basic categoriesd. benefits8.
