Dolphins are protected animals. Laws have been passed to keep them from being harmed. But the same laws that help the dolphins can cause problems for fishermen. Fishermen use nets to catch fish for grocery stores and restaurants. Nets make the work go faster, and fishermen catch more fish to sell. It would take a very long time to catch a lot of fish with a fishing pole. The dolphin laws say that fisherman cannot use a certain net anymore because it is dangerous to dolphins. Dolphins are mammals, and they need air to live. If they were to get caught in these nets, they might not be able to swim to the surface to breathe air. Dolphins live in the same areas as big fish. Dolphins often swim and play with schools of tuna. Just like the tuna, they can get caught in the fishermen's nets. Fishermen do not want to catch or harm dolphins. Today, fisherman follow a fishing style using different nets that will not harm dolphins. It is difficult, but the fisherman are careful to only catch tuna and not dolphins. As a result, the dolphin population is growing. What is an example of cause and effect in this passage?

A. There are new laws that are trying to protect dolphins from injury.

B. Dolphins were getting caught in nets because they swim with tuna.

C. Fishermen can catch more fish with a net than with a fishing pole.

D. Fishermen do not mean to hurt dolphins by using fishing nets.

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
