6- Read the following passage, then answer the question:

It is a disturbing fact that many different wild animals throughout the world are in danger. The reasons for this are many and varied, but we must largely blame pollution, pesticides, the disturbance of the animals' natural environment and man's greed.
Industry has grown enormously, and it has become common practice for factories to dispose of waste matter in streams and rivers, causing great loss of river life. Modern agricultural methods include using pesticides which effectively control insects classified as pests, but which also destroy many that are not. An increase in the population has meant more building and with it, the destruction of much of countryside that provides shelter for wild animals. To satisfy man's selfish desires, the polar bear in North Acerica is under threat, hunted by sportsmen; whales are killed worldwide for the oil and food they yield. These are only a few of the species under threat.
But the problem is receiving worldwide recognition and some action is being taken. For example, pollution in the River Thames has been greatly reduced. Trading in some furs has been forbidden; and organizations like "Friends of the Earth" do valuable work in this deserving cause.
