Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Rachel Carson began to write Silent Spring in order to address the synthetic organic chemicals released
into the ocean. There was a focus on the effects of DDT on marine birds, brown pelicans, and osprey
in particular. Information can be found in the section Marine Pollutants May Be Natural or Human
Generated.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
People want the benefit of their actions in full, but they want to share the costs. We need to remember
that we all share the world so the world is paying the costs of negative human activities on the
environment. Information can be found in the section Voyaging Combined with Science to Advance
Ocean Studies.
