Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material C. Chimney swifts are nocturnal birds whose large numbers are evident in the size of their colonies D. Moving in large chipping flocks is a natural protection against predators Chimney swifts are small, slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many. They usually appear in North America during warm, summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized most often as spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. Chimney swifts can be seen most vividly at dusk when large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands of individuals form tornado-like funnels as they descend into the chimneys. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney swift populations have been declining sharply since the 1970's due primarily to habitat loss. Unlike most birds, chimney swifts cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are enclosed to provide safe roosting and nesting sites. Historically, chimney swifts preferred hollow trees. However, as pioneers colonized territory and replaced forests with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as chimneys. In the US, a large-scale shift to alternate heat sources, chimney- capping and the use of fabricated chimneys has drastically impacted their ability to nest during migration. Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues that make it impossible for them to use. In addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. In an effort to sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structures, called "Chimney towers." These towers are designed specifically to provide roosting sites for chimney swifts. Chimney swifts now rely almost entirely on man-made structures like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkably adaptable, even minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can drastically improve their chance of survival. 

Answer:

1. A. The diminishing numbers of chimney swift can be reversed by simple conservation efforts.

2. D. The chimney swift's adaptability was severely hindered around 1970s.  

3.  D. It offers supporting evidence for the claim  

4. A. The author provides facts to support the main idea

5. D. Metal-lined chimneys, chimney towers, and reforestation efforts will ultimately result in the growth of the chimney swift population

6. B. Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material

Explanation:

Chimney: Note that a chimney is an architectural structure that allows for ventilation in buildings by providing passage for smoke produced by a stove or fireplace in homes.

1. The idea that is mainly focus on in the passage is how the diminishing numbers of chimney swift can be reversed by simple conservation efforts.

2. Indeed, noteworthy from the passage is the fact that after the 1970s, the population of chimney swift's adaptability started declining.

3. Supporting evidence for the claim was provided by including this fact to show how the numbers of chimney swifts have declined by comparing the number of both times.

4. Since the main idea is about declining chimney of swifts and conservation efforts to restore their population, the author is expected to provide facts that supports the main idea.

The birds of the sea joined together to save the woman and they broke her fall. The great sea turtle floated in the ocean and received the woman on his back without harm. The frightened woman looked around and all she could see was water and sky. She felt helpless, but the animals were determined to save her. She told them that if they could find some soil, she could plant the roots from the Great Tree that were still tangled in her hands.

Based on the animals' behavior toward the woman, it is reasonable to conclude that the animals
were frightened by a creature they had never seen.
felt compassion for the woman because she was scared.
were hoping to live on land that the woman would create.
wanted the roots from the sacred Great Tree.
