Question

read a second text about drinking straws.
in the past, drinking straws were a relative rarity. they could perhaps be found at soda fountains or bars, but they werent a regular restaurant item. this has changed dramatically in recent years; restaurant customers now expect a straw to accompany every drink. unfortunately, plastic drinking straws are like black widow spiders: their small size makes them seem less dangerous. although they compose only a small percentage of the plastic currently polluting our oceans, they pose a significant risk to ocean wildlife. larger marine animals can mistake straws for food and ingest them, while smaller creatures can become tangled in the tough plastic. to combat this problem, some restaurants are adopting
o - straw initiatives,\ in which straws are provided only upon request.
select the three details that are included in the text.

• And it says "they pose a significant risk to ocean wildlife," meaning discarded straws present hazards for marine wildlife.
