Explanation:

Question 15

To determine which sentence suggests Happy Feet is accustomed to captivity, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Talks about conservation authorities' initial plan, not the penguin's behavior in captivity.
• Option b: Describes the penguin sliding down a slide, which is a playful action, not related to captivity adaptation.
• Option c: Discusses followers tracking the penguin, not captivity adaptation.
• Option d: When the crate door (captivity enclosure) was opened, the penguin showed no interest in leaving, implying it is used to living in captivity.

To find how the author organizes the article, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The article does not focus on comparing captive and wild penguin lives.
• Option b: There's no mention of the penguin becoming ill or interviewing a veterinarian.
• Option c: The article likely presents events in chronological order that led to the penguin's media celebrity status (e.g., rescue, care, public attention).
• Option d: The structure is not about first describing rescue outcome then recounting rescue efforts.

Answer:

d. But when they opened the door of the crate, the penguin showed no interest in leaving
