Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question.

The saola is one of the rarest large animals on earth. It was discovered by Ministry of Forestry of Viet Nam and WWF in the Vu Quang Nature Reserve in 1992. Adult saolas weigh 80-100 kg and both females and males have long horns, red and brown fur and an unusual pattern of white markings on the head.

This beautiful animal is found only in Laos and Viet Nam, along the shared border of the two countries. It lives in deep, wild forests which are not damaged by human activities. Because the saola is unique and very rare, it is impossible to know its exact population. Based on information from local villagers and images by photographers, researchers estimate that there are fewer than 750 saolas, and the number is declining due to illegal hunting and habitat loss.

To save the saola, some natural scientists think that we must rescue surviving individuals and provide a protected habitat for them. The last saola must be found, caught and taken to the animal breeding centres, where they can produce young animals. Strict punishment should be applied to illegal hunting of the saola so that the rare, beautiful animal can survive.
