Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
Many of the most endangered coral species around the world are under severe pressure from the aquarium trade. Corals are notoriously hard to (26) ________ in captivity and therefore the trade is still heavily dependent on harvesting from the wild. Trade in coral and coral reef species is substantial. An estimated 30 million fish and 1.5 million live stony corals are removed from seas around the world every year. The aquarium industry targets (27)______ 1,500 species of reef fish. Many die in transit, leading collectors to gather even more animals to compensate for their losses. (28)_______, many of the fish taken for the aquarium trade are captured using cyanide and other poisons. The result, more often than not, is consumer fraud: aquarium fanciers frequently buy fish that are in the process of dying from the poisons used to capture them. Sadly, international law has failed, and continues to fail to protect coral reefs and tropical fish from being (29)________ by a growing collector's market. The 21st century will be the most important in the existence of coral reefs over the past 5,000 to 10,000 years. Humans will make important decisions (either intentionally or by indecision) (30)_______ will decide the fate of these fragile and crucially important ecosystems.
A. propagate
B. manufacture
C. fabricate
D. proliferate
