I. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
The latest buzz word in the continuing debate about the environment is 'sustainable management' - that means using plants and animals for our own benefit, but ensuring that enough are left alive to guarantee the survival of the species. 
This sounds good, but is it practical in reality? In spite of years of scientific research, no-one really knows how much damage human beings are doing to their environment. We know that they are responsible for many problems ranging from global warming to ozone depletion, and there is no doubt that they have a devastating effect on animal and plant life on Earth.
About 50,000 animal and plant species are becoming extinct every year. All species depend in some way on one another for survival. If you remove one species from this complex web of interrelationships, we have little idea of the repercussions on the ecosystem in general.

a. can be estimated by years of scientific research.
b. is being calculated by scientific research exactly.
c. is impossible to assess despite years of scientific research.
d. is, thanks to years of scientific research, on the decrease
2. The term 'sustainable management' means using plants and animals for our own benefit, but..
a. assuring none are left alive to guarantee the survival of the species.
b. making sure that enough are left alive to guarantee the survival of the species.
c. take care of the survival of the species.
d. make certain they are not all used up.
