answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
The adorable clone, named Elizabeth Ann, is a species of black-footed ferret, one of the most
endangered mammals in North America, according to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.
Born on Dec. 10, 2020, Elizabeth Ann was created using cells from "Willa," a wild black-footed
ferret who died and had her cells cryopreserved in 1988, according to a statement from the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which was involved in the cloning.
The feat marks the first time an endangered species in the U.S. has been cloned, the
statement said. "It was a commitment to seeing this species survive that has led to the
successful birth of Elizabeth Ann," Ryan Phelan, executive director of Revive & Restore, a
conservation organization that was involved with the cloning, said in the statement. "To see
her now thriving ushers in a new era for her species and for conservation-dependent species
everywhere. 
Black-footed ferrets were once thought to be extinct, but scientists found a small population
in 1981, which allowed conservationists to start captive breeding programs for the species.
About 250 to 350 of the ferrets live in captivity, and 300 more live in reintroduction sites in
the wild, according to Revive & Restore. But the limited genetic diversity of the species has
challenged its recovery, making the creatures prone to health disorders and certain infections,
the Times reported.
Since Willa was not one of the "seven founders" of the population, her genes — which are
now possessed by Elizabeth Ann — could bring much-needed variation to the population's
genetics.
Several other endangered animals have been cloned in other parts of the world, including
gaur, or wild cattle, in 2001, bucardo, or wild goats, in 2009, and wild coyotes in 2012,
according to Scientific American.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Once your child is born, they start learning motor skills, language skills, cognitive skills, and
emotional skills.
Regarding motor skills, it is largely the family’s responsibility for teaching these skills. Even
if your child is in daycare, the work that parents put in at home to teach these skills is much
more effective than in the few hours your child is under someone else’s care. Your child will
learn how to sit up, walk, run, climb, hold a spoon and so on. These seem quite natural to us as
adults, but they are skills that have to be fine-tuned at a very young age, and they
also reinforce your child’s independence which is essential for their development.
Language skills are another essential component of the role of family in child development. If
you do not speak to your child and teach them your language, they will never learn. One
infamous example of this occurring is with Genie, a child who was locked in a dark room with
extremely little human contact until she was rescued at age 13. She was never able to develop
language fluency because it was never taught to her. So, teaching your children language skills
from a young age is also essential to child development.
 Another skill that is very important for child development is emotion. Emotional skills are
important throughout your child’s entire life as they teach them when to have sympathy and
compassion for others as well as teach them how to deal with the highs and lows that come
with life. If your child does not have proper emotional skills, they will not be able to deal with
bad outcomes. If they lack emotional skills, it could lead to destructive choices when they are
older.
To help develop your child’s emotional skills, teaching them to smile and wave when they are
babies is a good place to start. When they get a bit older, teaching them to share is very
important. In a family, because there are multiple people, the family can be very helpful in
developing a child’s skills with the multiple perspectives. To bring this more to foundational
building blocks, while your child is very young, something very helpful for family members to
do is to teach children basic emotions. When a child is feeling a certain way, naming emotions
and describing them are important ways for your child to understand how they are feeling.
Once this foundation is set, children can learn how to respond to their feelings and move
forward.
