208 Read the passage and choose the option that best answers the question or completes the sentence

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the
tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by
the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The
currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive
sweep.
The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant
Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of
the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the
control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty
minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day.
And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal

Read the passage and choose the best option to answer the question or complete the sentence
below

Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that
live there. This change is known as succession
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they
live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment
by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes
cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been
changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the
grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area; in addition,
they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory
seedlings; however, they have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow into large trees
that eventually shade out the pines.

A. The importance of weeds and grasses B. How environmental habitats change
