c the information in the sentences shows a modern type of camera trap, and tools of the trade summarizes the history of the technology.
d the information in the sentences illustrates many people using a camera trap, and tools of the trade demonstrates a single person using the technology.

Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The descriptions in paragraphs 1 - 2 don't focus on jaguars' survival difficulty.
• Option B: There's no indication of the ecosystem being fragile/unprotected.
• Option C: The paragraphs likely describe the jaguars' territory as vast and challenging (e.g., rocky, remote areas), which matches this option.
• Option D: The text doesn't discuss jaguars being exposed to predators.

Analyze each option:

• Option A: The sentences don't present multiple functions of camera traps, and "Tools of the Trade" wouldn't outline a single purpose if the sentences don't show multiple.
• Option B: The sentences show one person (he) using camera traps, and "Tools of the Trade" would describe their benefits (like capturing a fascinating world implies benefits). This matches.
• Option C: The sentences don't show a modern type vs old, nor does "Tools of the Trade" summarize history.
• Option D: The sentences show one person, not many, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. by demonstrating how vast and challenging the territory of the jaguars is
