Here are the completed sentences with the chosen options:
- 40 A) bad rain that poisons their natural habitats.
- 41 C) protect endangered fish is to keep them in an aquarium.
- 42 B) decrease their numbers.
- 43 C) protect the fish's natural habitats.
- 44 C) join , we can work wonders!
Explanation:
- The context suggests a negative impact of rain on habitats, making 'bad' the most fitting choice.
- 'Protect' is the most logical verb to describe helping endangered fish in this context.
- Aquariums are believed to help 'decrease' or manage fish numbers.
- The sentence contrasts protecting fish in aquariums with protecting them in their 'natural' habitats, implying aquariums cannot fully replace or 'protect' natural habitats.
- Lending a 'join' (meaning a hand or effort) implies collective action for a cause.
