Explanation:

Question 17

To find the main idea, we analyze each option. Option a focuses on New Zealanders helping a lost penguin return to Antarctica, which likely captures the core action of the article. Option b is about a zoo saving an ailing penguin, but the main idea is more about returning it. Option c is just the penguin's travel, not the main action. Option d is about making it a celebrity, which is secondary. So a is the best choice.

For the map - related question, we consider the context of the penguin's journey between New Zealand and Antarctica. Option a is about other penguins in New Zealand, not relevant. Option b is about Antarctic habitats, not the map's focus. Option c is about the distance between New Zealand and Antarctica, which a map would highlight if the article is about the penguin's journey between them. Option d is about New Zealand's size, unrelated. So c is correct.

Answer:

a. New Zealanders helped a lost emperor penguin return to the Antarctic.
