Questions 1-11 are based on the following passage.
Entomophagy: A Sustainable Solution
Traditional livestock rearing practices place heavy
burdens on Earth’s limited natural resources: animal waste
contaminates water sources, creates acidic environments,
and 1 polluting the air with greenhouse gases. Yet the
world’s livestock requirement is expected to double by the
year 2050. 2 Some scientists and environmental advocates
have such an alternative in mind: bugs. By embracing
entomophagy (the consumption of insects as food), 3
the nutritional needs of people can continue to be met while
also signi fi cantly reducing the ecological pressures resulting
from traditional livestock rearing practices.
Which choice provides the most effective transition
from the preceding sentence to the one that follows?
A) 465 million tonnes of livestock products will be
required to meet the demands of 9 billion people
worldwide.
B) This increase places heavy strains on food
sources, like fish for instance, which has already
seen a 3.6% increase in consumption since 1961.
C) Traditional livestock may become an untenable
protein source because of the heavy burdens
placed on Earth’s resources.
D) It will be environmentally impossible to meet such
a great demand without turning to alternative
sources of protein.

Insects can be reared as minilivestock in small, urban
spaces and, in fact, 4 thrives in high-density, vertical
environments. Thirty crickets can produce roughly 3,000
offspring in a six-by-six-by-two inch plastic storage
container. 5 T hose crickets yield about a pound of food.
How much food they yield depends on the species. Rearing
minilivestock in urban areas could significantly reduce the
deforestation caused by the raising of traditional livestock.
