III. Read the passage and circle the best answer for the questions below. (1.0p)
 Sylvia Earle,a marine botanist and one of the foremost deep-sea explorers, has spent over
6,000 hours, more than seven months, underwater. From her earliest years, Earle had an affinity
for marine life, and she took her first plunge into the open sea as a teenager. In the years since
then she has taken part in a number of landmark underwater projects, from exploratory
expeditions around the world to her celebrated “Jim dive” in 1978, which was the deepest solo
dive ever made without cable connecting the diver to a support vessel at the surface of the sea.
Clothed in a Jim suit, a futuristic suit of plastic and metal armor, which was secured to a
manned submarine, Sylvia Earle plunged vertically into the Pacific Ocean, at times at the speed
of 100 fee per minute. On reaching the ocean floor, she was released from the submarine and
from that point her only connection to the sub was an 18-foot tether. For the next two and a half
hours, Earle roamed the seabed taking notes, collecting speciment, and planting a U.S.flag.
Consumed by a desire to descend deeper still, in 1981 she became involved in the design and
manufacture of deep-sea submersibles, one of which took her to depth of 3,000 feet. This did not
end Sylvia Earle’s accomplishments.
