00:08

00:12

so here we go Check the following passage are transmitted

00:15

is gone the world drinking this grantland super all right

00:20

we're done skimming so let's just get to it We

00:22

can infer from the passage this thing that the destruction

00:26

of estuaries might have certain negative consequences What are these

00:30

negative consequences Support your answer with evidence from the passage

00:34

All right we're going to go say a right in

00:36

here and here's a potential answer So take notes the

passage discusses several important benefits provided by estuaries These benefits

00:44

include diverse wildlife filtration ofwater pollutants and sediments economic activities

00:50

and protection of land from floods and storm surges If

00:54

estuaries were destroyed we can infer that these benefits would

00:58

disappear and that problems would surface For example Since estuaries

01:02

provide a source of commercial fishing their disappearance would probably

01:06

cause a decline in the fish population Additionally since estuaries

01:11

protect the land from floods and storm surges we can

01:13

assume that there would be more damaging floods and surges

01:16

Without estuaries to absorb some of the excess water Alright

01:20

well this has been your sample Short answer That's it

01:23

notice how loaded it was with evidence from the passage

01:25

citation So on we packed it full of all the

01:29

negatives that come when estuaries air destroyed for what it's
