Questions 31-34
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

  • 31. Why did managers decide to move some rhinos from Lake Nakuru?
  • 32. Why were younger adults preferred for the move?
  • 33. Why were rhinos darted while moving away from vehicles?
  • 34. Why was body position important after sedation?

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: poaching had recently increased.

(B) is correct. The recovered population was competing for limited food and the park could no longer support all the rhinos.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: the animals needed a colder habitat.

Associated Text:
Reproduction went so well that there were eventually too many rhinos for the park to support.

(A) is correct. Younger adults are more likely to adapt and start a new breeding population.

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: they had smaller horns than older rhinos.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: they could be transported in family groups.

Associated Text:
They focused mainly on younger adults, between five and ten years old, because these animals are most likely to adapt and to start a new breeding population.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: to make them easier to identify later.

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: to stop them damaging the trucks.

(C) is correct. Darting as the rhinos ran away reduced the time spent under sedation.

Associated Text:
The vets also had to dart the rhinos as they were running away from the approaching vehicles, to minimise the time spent under sedation.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: to measure horn size accurately.

(B) is correct. The team propped each rhino on its chest with the head supported so the airways stayed clear.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: to copy the method used with elephants.

Associated Text:
the team had to make sure each rhino was carefully turned and propped up on its chest, with the head supported, so that the airways stayed clear.

Visitor impact Tourism income also reached nearby (40).

The correct answer is vegetation because over-browsing caused serious damage to the vegetation.

Associated Text:
The result was that they began to over browse certain areas of the park, causing serious damage to the vegetation.

The correct answer is breathing because a ranger stayed with each rhino to monitor its breathing.

Associated Text:
one ranger stayed with each rhino to keep an eye on its breathing. If respiration dropped too low, the animal would need urgent medical attention.

The correct answer is ears because the speaker says small differences in the ears can help with later identification.

Associated Text:
Particular attention was paid to the size of the horns, since rhinos with larger horns are more at risk from poachers, and to the ears as well, because small differences there can also help with later identification.

The correct answer is universities because biologists from local universities frequently come to study rhino behaviour at Sera.

Associated Text:
biologists from local universities frequently come to study rhino behaviour at Sera.

The correct answer is snares because former poachers handed in snares, which were destroyed.

Associated Text:
As part of this transition, many of them voluntarily handed in their snares, which were destroyed by the rangers.

The correct answer is villages because increased visitor interest brought revenue to the conservancy and surrounding villages.

Associated Text:
increased revenue for the conservancy and surrounding villages.
