Matching Paragraphs and Headings:
- Paragraph A: This paragraph describes the opening of the Georgia Aquarium, its size, the amount of water it holds, and the necessity of maintaining a specific temperature for the animals. It also mentions the building's appearance. Out of the given headings, 'It's the world's largest!' (3) best fits as it highlights the aquarium's size, which is a central theme in this paragraph.
- Paragraph B: This paragraph focuses on the origin of many animals in the aquarium, specifically mentioning their transport from Taiwan to Atlanta via special planes, the cost involved, and identifying some of the famous animals like whale sharks and Beluga whales. The heading that aligns with this content is implied by the quantity of animals and their transportation, though no direct heading perfectly matches. However, considering the emphasis on the animals and their journey, no explicit heading from the list seems to directly correlate. Let's re-evaluate after analyzing other paragraphs.
- Paragraph C: This paragraph details the arrival of whale sharks in 2007 and discusses Taiwan's policy on whale sharks, positioning the Georgia Aquarium as a unique place outside Asia to house them. It also mentions the large volume of water these specific animals inhabit. The heading 'Explore the ocean floor' (6) could relate to the marine life described, but it's not a perfect fit. The fact that Taiwan no longer allows whale sharks to be caught and taken to aquariums implies a conservation or rarity aspect. Let's consider other options.
- Paragraph D: This paragraph highlights the aquarium's immediate success, mentioning the number of days it took to reach one million and then five million visitors. The heading that directly reflects this information is 'Over one million happy visitors' (4).
- Paragraph E: This paragraph provides practical information about the aquarium's operating hours, including specific times for weekdays and weekends, and advises checking the website. It also mentions ticket prices for adults and children and states they are the most expensive in the United States. While it mentions visitor costs, 'High transport costs' (7) is not directly addressed. The operating hours and ticket information are key. No heading directly relates to operating hours or ticket prices.
- Paragraph F: This paragraph describes special programs like parties and overnight stays, with a specific mention of a $$100 package for sleeping over. It also details a tour called 'Ocean Voyager' where visitors can view whale sharks. The heading 'A night to remember' (5) perfectly encapsulates the idea of an overnight stay and special experiences.
Revisiting Paragraph B: This paragraph discusses the number of animals (120,000) and their transportation. There isn't a heading that directly addresses 'transport costs' or the sheer number of animals as a primary theme. If we consider the context of 'It's the world's largest!' (3) for Paragraph A, then Paragraph B which talks about the animals being brought from Taiwan is a supporting detail for the scale of the aquarium. However, the text in A explicitly states "the world's largest aquarium with 30 million litres of fresh and salt water." This makes heading 3 a strong fit for A. There is an extra heading. Let's confirm matches.
Final Matches:
- Paragraph A: 3 It's the world's largest!
- Paragraph D: 4 Over one million happy visitors
- Paragraph F: 5 A night to remember
- Paragraph E: No direct match, but ticket prices and operating hours are discussed.
- Paragraph C: No direct match, but discusses whale sharks and their rarity.
- Paragraph B: No direct match.
Let's re-evaluate Paragraph E and C with remaining headings:
Remaining Headings: 1 Never closes, 2 They need a lot of water, 6 Explore the ocean floor, 7 High transport costs.
Paragraph E states "The Georgia Aquarium is open 365 days a year." This directly matches 1 Never closes.
Paragraph C talks about "whale sharks... These very special animals swim in 24 million litres of water". This relates to heading 2 They need a lot of water.
Paragraph B mentions "Many of the animals were brought to Atlanta, Georgia, on special planes all the way from Taiwan, and it cost more than $$200,000 to bring the animals to the US." This aligns with 7 High transport costs.
Paragraph F mentions "Ocean Voyager, from where you are able to look down at the whale sharks from above." This aligns with 6 Explore the ocean floor.
Confirmed Matches:
- Paragraph A: 3 It's the world's largest!
- Paragraph B: 7 High transport costs
- Paragraph C: 2 They need a lot of water
- Paragraph D: 4 Over one million happy visitors
- Paragraph E: 1 Never closes
- Paragraph F: 5 A night to remember
The extra heading is 6 Explore the ocean floor.
