another question lol.

Read the passage.

North American river otters are a species whose population can indicate the degree of health in the surrounding environment. The otters experienced a sharp decrease in numbers in the 1900s. This was due to fur trapping and pollution. They are not considered endangered today, though.

Which sentence could be added to the passage to maintain its formal style?

A) Fur trapping and pollution are legal today.

B) If people would leave otters alone, they would be healthy.

C) Through conservation efforts, the otter population has recovered.

D) The otter is on the endangered species list.

And you think ... ?
The one that makes sense to me is A tbh
Ice cream thinks pollution is legal??

Also, notice the actual question:
“Which sentence could be added to the passage to maintain its formal style?”
What does “formal” mean here?
Which sentence fits, now that you know A is wrong?
I know you did not just ask is pollution illegal. Bro- ofc it is! Pollution is harmful to the environment, every time someone puts trash in the ocean a animal gets affected by it! That’s how mostly half of the beaches in USA is affected and polluted with trash in the water. And fur trapping- yeah. People put stuff for the animals to get electrocuted by it. That’s illegal as well because in some states it’s illegal to hurt animals. So of course it’s illegal. You should know this stuff!
And it’s also wasteful because you can reuse it over and over again. Anyways have a good rest of your day.
