(B) is correct because Alice is pleased that the award made the Trust's work better known. (C) is incorrect as Alice says it may not bring in extra members. Therefore, (B) is the correct answer.

Associated Text:
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood. In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we're hoping it'll have this effect.

The answer is A. (A) is correct because Alice says 'We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.' (B) is incorrect as oil leaks are explicitly downplayed in the script. (C) is also incorrect because Alice says the area is known for 'very little shipping,' and the main concern is noise. Thus, the issue is (A) noise.

Associated Text:
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.

The answer is C. (A) and (B) are both incorrect. Alice says, 'Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them. I couldn't put the book down - I was hooked.' So, her interest began by reading a book about dolphins.

The answer is C. Alice says about Kiwi: 'she seems to love coming up close for the cameras and we've captured her on film hundreds of times.' This means Kiwi is photographed more than the others.
