Explanation:

Question 3

To determine the purpose of paragraph 1, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Paragraph 1 likely doesn't focus on job frustrations.
• Option B: It's more about engaging with unusual experiences than just showing artistic talent.
• Option C: Describing unusual experiences (like unique photography situations) would engage readers.
• Option D: The paragraph probably isn't about explaining reasons for taking photos.

So the most logical purpose is to engage via unusual experiences.

For paragraph 6's purpose:

• Option A: If paragraph 6 introduces an expert's insights on extinction causes, that's a common reason to include a paragraph (providing expert perspective).
• Option B: It's less about predicting extinctions' ability change.
• Option C: Not about showing institution numbers.
• Option D: Widespread agreement on extinction pace is less likely the focus.

So introducing expert insights on causes is the most likely reason.

Analyzing the sentence "Since then, Sartore has photographed more than 7,000 creatures in captivity around the world":

• Option A: The sentence is about photographing creatures, not discovering places.
• Option B: No mention of risk in the sentence.
• Option C: Photographing 7,000+ creatures shows commitment to his task (like documenting species).
• Option D: No info about spending time alone.

So the sentence suggests commitment to his responsibility.

Answer:

C. to engage the reader by describing Sartore’s unusual experiences
