Answer 1

The two correct responses are:

• The first author feels that visiting the zoo is fun, but the second author wonders if life in a zoo is fun for the animals.
• The author of the first excerpt believes that zoos benefit animals, while the author of the second excerpt questions if this is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first author's viewpoint is positive and emphasizes the benefits of zoos for both animals and people. The second author's viewpoint is critical and questions whether zoos are good for the animals that live there. Therefore, the first response is incorrect.

The second response is also incorrect because neither author suggests that visiting the zoo is the best way to see animals in their natural habitat. In fact, the second author questions whether zoos provide a natural habitat for animals at all.

The third response accurately represents the viewpoints of both authors. The first author believes that zoos benefit animals, while the second author questions this assumption.

The fourth response is incorrect because the second author does not view a visit to the zoo as a way to learn about animals. Instead, they argue that zoos do not provide a realistic or natural environment for animals and may actually be harmful to their well-being.

Answer 2

1) "The first author feels that visiting the zoo is fun, but the second author wonders if life in a zoo is fun for the animals."

2) "The author of the first excerpt believes that zoos benefit animals, while the author of the second excerpt questions if this is true."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first response accurately captures the contrasting viewpoints of the authors. The first author describes a visit to the zoo as a fun day outdoors, while the second author raises concerns about the well-being of animals in zoos.

The second response is incorrect because neither author suggests that visiting a zoo is the best way to see exotic animals in their natural habitat. In fact, the second author questions the suitability of zoo environments for animals.

The third response is correct. The first author highlights the benefits of zoos for both animals and people, indicating a belief in the positive impact of zoos. In contrast, the second author questions the notion that zoos are beneficial for animals.

The fourth response is incorrect because although both authors acknowledge the potential for learning through a visit to the zoo, it does not represent the main focus or viewpoint of either author.
