(A) Although marine turtles spend most of their time at sea, they come to land to lay their eggs. The
female goes ashore at night on a remote sandy beach and scratches a hole in the sand. There she lays her eggs
in a clutch of up to 200 which may take her several nights to complete. Her task done, she abandons the eggs
and returns to sea. The eggs are incubated in the warm sand and hatched with no aid or further interest from
their mother.

| C | (B) Italy enjoyed a highly developed and specialized civilization from about 264 B.C. until the fall of the
Roman Empire in 476 A.D.. Important contributions were made in art, science, education, religion, and
architecture. Remains of Roman-built structures can still be seen in various parts of Africa and Europe today.

principles as found in England, Latin America, and the United States, as well as the Roman alphabet which
forms the basis of many languages among which are English, Spanish, and German.

| D | (C) Members of one of the finest detective forces in the world wear no badges and carry no guns. Their
only weapons are their strength and courage and a diploma from an intensive school—the Police Service Dog
Center near Ottawa, Canada.
From the time he enters school, each dog recruit is instilled with severe military discipline. First, he is
taught to obey, sit and lie down. Next comes field training where he learns how to track down clues, guard
prisoners, and rescue a drowning man or a victim pinned under a fallen tree. Another difficult lesson the dog
detective must master is to accept food only once a day—and from no one but his trainer. This lesson is his
best insurance against the jaws of a baited trap or the painful death from poisoned meat. In his final lessons
the Police Service dog learns to jump through windows, to climb up and down ladders and to capture an
armed man without getting shot. Not only must he be tough—the dog must be a gentleman, too, because
many of his missions are retrieving lost children.
