Passage 1
the galapagos islands are the only places in the world with a combination of large, sea-going lizards, seabirds that can’t fly, and turtles the size of desks. unsustainable fishing practices and a lack of well-managed protected areas have driven these island ecosystems to the edge of collapse and threaten the galapagos’ irreplaceable plants and animals. in collaboration with local communities in chile, peru, and ecuador, the nature conservancy is implementing new, sustainable fisheries programs and working to protect over 30 million acres of pacific marine habitat in the region. their progress is inspiring.
passage 2
manhattan island is a part of new york city. it teems with people, pets, traffic, towering skyscrapers and 24-hour noise. a visitor only has to go a few blocks before recognizing famous landmarks, like the guggenheim museum or the stately lions guarding the entrance to the public library. the island, which looks out over the atlantic ocean, is home to broadway and wall street. as the center of the financial and entertainment industries, it contains intoxicating promises of fame and fortune and attracts many people year after year, though few really make it to the top. called the “big apple,” new york city is also known as the “asphalt jungle” due to its highly competitive nature. anyone who can survive on this island can make it almost anywhere.
what contrast can be made between these two passages?
a. one concerns a city; the other is about endangered islands.
b. one is about fame and fortune; the other is about turtles.
c. one is about saving animals; the other concerns saving people.
d. one concerns public libraries; the other is about public beaches.

Me asap i will give brainliest to the first correct answer this is urgent major test (1) wayne gretzky once said, “you’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (2) life would be dull and boring if no one took risks. (3) many people have accomplished astonishing things because they took a risk. (4) in other words, my mind is set on the belief that it’s worthwhile to take risks. (5) one reason to take a risk is that you can learn from your mistakes, and that allows you to accomplish your goal correctly the next time. (6) for instance, the wright brothers dreamed of being able to fly. (7) they decided to invent the airplane. (8) certainly, they weren’t able to construct it perfectly the first time, so they took a risk and kept trying until they finally got it right. (9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. what change, if any, is needed in sentence 4? question 2 options: delete the comma after words change risks to risk change its to it's make no change
