Answer 1

4. Using context clues and your knowledge of word parts, what is the best definition for "salvageable" in the first paragraph of section #2?

The best definition for "salvageable," based on context clues and the word parts, is "able to be saved." The root word "salvage" means to save something from danger or destruction. Consequently, the suffix "able" added to "salvage" implies the capability or possibility of something being saved. The use of "salvageable" in the context of "their DNA is no longer salvageable" suggests that the DNA cannot be saved or used, meaning it is beyond recovery.

Correct answer: able to be saved

5. What is the author's main claim in the first paragraph of section #2?
(1 point)

To identify the author's main claim in the first paragraph, you need to look at what argument or assertion the author is making about de-extinction. The text states that while resurrecting dinosaurs is not possible, "new genetic technologies enable us to re-create more recently extinct species like passenger pigeons and woolly mammoths," and further goes on to suggest that there may be benefits from doing so. The claim here is in support of the idea of reviving extinct species because of these potential benefits.

Correct answer: We should revive extinct species because there are benefits.

Answer 2

what about 6 7 & 8??

Answer 3

It appears there has been a misunderstanding. You've only provided two questions from the text, labeled #4 and #5. There were no questions labeled #6, #7, or #8 included in your original message for me to address. If you have more questions you'd like assistance with, please provide the exact text of those questions along with any relevant context or passages from the source material, and I'd be happy to help with those as well.

Answer 4

To answer question 4, the word "salvageable" in the first paragraph of section #2 means "able to be saved." This can be inferred from the context that it is not possible to bring back dinosaurs because their DNA is no longer salvageable.

To answer question 5, the author's main claim in the first paragraph of section #2 is that the science of de-extinction is real and it is possible to bring back more recently extinct species with new genetic technologies. The author also mentions that de-extinction has benefits, contrary to the perception that it might be threatening, as portrayed in the movie Jurassic Park.
