Question 2
“From near extinction to stunning recovery, its comeback is a rare win for threatened and endangered species.”
Is the author’s statement a fact, reasoned judgment or speculation?
Answer: Correct! This claim is supported throughout the article with evidence related to the thought that this species was extinct. The “torpedo-shaped” fish is described in detail and the reader can infer that the yellow tag near the dorsal fin indicates the population of fish is scientifically monitored. The author goes on to give a detailed description of this fish with “sparkling rose-pink stripes” who made a “stunning recovery.” The reasoned judgment of the author provides evidence that the efforts of human beings can save a species from extinction.
