Questions 9-13 are based on the following passage.

One of the hazards of swimming in the ocean is an unexpected encounter with a jellyfish. Contact with the poison in a jellyfish's tentacles can result in sharp, lingering pain or even death if the person stung is highly allergic. While everyone, including the jellyfish, would like to avoid these encounters, they are not uncommon. This is hardly surprising considering that jellyfish live in every ocean in the world and have done so for more than 650 million years. The animals are likely so widespread because of their extreme adaptability-they are quite hardy and can withstand a wide range of temperatures and conditions in their environment.

A.       introduce a small note of humor to an otherwise serious discussion

B.       encourage the reader's sympathy for the jellyfish

C.        ridicule humans' fear of jellyfish

D.       emphasize the danger that jellyfish pose for swimmers

5.    According to the passage, encounters between humans and jellyfish in the ocean are relatively common because jellyfish:

A.       are more than 650 million years old

B.       live in all the world's oceans

C.        are extremely robust
