Question 2 of 4

Changes to Be Made in Tomorrow’s Elections

All students should be aware that there are two changes in tomorrow’s student council elections. First of all, there will be no voting in the student library as the librarians have claimed that voting there would be too noisy. As a result, voting will only be permitted in the student center and at the student cafeteria. The second change concerns the student cafeteria. Voting there will end at 8 P.M. rather than at 9 P.M. since the cafeteria regularly closes at eight. Those students wishing to vote between eight and nine must do so at the student center.

Exercise 3

Question 3 of 4

Animal Warning Coloration

Prey animals employ a variety of methods, including running and hiding, to avoid being caught by predators. Yet some animals do not hide but instead stand out. This is often accomplished through the method known as warning coloration. Animals utilizing warning coloration have brightly colored fur or skin. They are typically blue, purple, white, orange, red, or yellow in color. Many of these animals have lethal poison or venom. Predators that see brightly colored animals almost always avoid them. That is particularly true if the predators have had prior negative experiences with similar-looking animals.
