In paragraph 6 how does the author argue against bottom trawling on seamounts? A. By explaining that bottom trawls in the past could not reach so far undersea

B. By suggesting the effects are unknown because unidentified species are destroyed

C. By stating that there is coral in both deep and shallow waters

D. By describing that most fish populations are already overfished

paragraph 6:
Recent studies have shown that there is more deep-water coral than shallow water coral, some thousands of years old. As most existing fish populations are overfished, pressure is placed on deep-water fish. Trawling equipment has now been modified to reach depths of 2,000 meters. Trawls are impacting sensitive marine areas like seamounts and canyons, where they could not trawl before. Seamounts—mountains in deep water—are teeming with life. Currents push nutrients up their sides and feed whole colonies of fish like orange roughy, which are slow to mature and develop. Seamounts are also hot spots of biodiversity where scientists are discovering dozens of new species. Many creatures may be destroyed before they are even identified. No one can anticipate the impact this may have on other life in the sea.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
