Question

based on the presentation, which statement would the speaker most likely agree with? a blue sharks do not need to be protected from the fishing industry. b those who work in deep water understand the danger of blue sharks. c blue sharks are most dangerous to swimmers at popular beaches. d the fear around blue sharks is due to misinformation, not facts.

Explanation:

To determine the speaker's likely agreement, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If blue sharks needed protection, this would be false. No info suggests they don't need protection.
• Option B: The question is about the speaker's view, not deep - water workers' understanding. No relevant context.
• Option C: Popular beaches are shallow, and blue sharks are deep - water creatures. Unlikely they're most dangerous here.
• Option D: Often, fear of sharks (like blue sharks) comes from misinformation (e.g., media portrayals) rather than factual danger. This is a common theme in shark - related discussions, so the speaker is likely to agree with this.

Answer:

D. The fear around blue sharks is due to misinformation, not facts.
