Read the excerpt from "Save the Coral Reefs.”A study completed in 2004 found that seventy percent of our coral reefs are already destroyed or currently under threat of destruction. It also concluded that much of the wreckage to reefs has been caused by humans. The resiliency of the reefs is on our side, though. More can be done now to help the coral reefs bounce back—even flourish.

What is meaning of the word "resiliency” in this context?

the way an ecosystem supports plant and animal life
the manner in which an ecosystem decomposes
the ability of an ecosystem to recover from damage
the capability of one ecosystem to ruin another ecosystem

Read the excerpt from "GM Food: Fuel for Our Future.”

Also, crops can be genetically engineered to be more nutritious. Golden rice, for example, has been altered to have more vitamin A than spinach. This is important because according to Scientific American, "Vitamin A deficiency causes more than one million deaths annually and half a million cases of irreversible blindness in the developing world.” Golden rice alone could help save millions of lives and prevent blindness.

Overall, our growing world desperately needs GM food to survive. The food these crops produce costs less and is safer and more nutritious than anything you could get from a traditional crop. As you can see, the benefits of GM food outweigh the far-fetched, unsubstantiated risks that critics have put forth.

Which phrases from the excerpt support the author’s argument that genetically modified food is safe? Check all that apply.

more vitamin A
you can see
could help save
traditional crop
unsubstantiated risks
more nutritious
