Excerpt from The Great Blue Hole
Rebecca Sparling
"The poor water circulation inside most blue holes
makes them anoxic. This means that oxygen levels
are extremely low at certain depths. The
unfavorable environment makes it difficult for
marine plants and animals to survive, but large numbers of bacteria seem to
flourish in these holes. Some divers claim to spot the occasional shark in the
deeper parts of the hole where the water is much clearer. Explorers and
scientists believe that a series of underwater tunnels might connect the hole
to the mainland. The hazards of exploring such a network make this theory
difficult to verify
According to section four of this passage, bacteria flourish inside the Great Blue
Hole. From this information you can tell that
the Great Blue Hole is polluted
bacteria thrive in deeper waters
bacteria are not well understood
bacteria need little oxygen to survive

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
