1 ) Dolphins are
regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping
drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about
dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people
previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for
pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some
scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more
probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any
of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common
argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more
easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the
more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior
when we destroy them. It is clear from the passage that dolphins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

7 ) Naval
architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the

happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper
number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal
voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy
night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their
dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed
to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before
the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted
to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why
