Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Marina Hills High School is fighting pollution in an unusual way. It's planting trees! In an effort to fight pollution and help the environment, the Marina Hills Ecology Club offers trees to institutions willing to plant them on their grounds. Among those that took advantage of the offer was Marina Hills High School. After consulting with his teachers on where to plant the trees, Principal Max Webb contacted the Ecology Club.
But when the seedlings arrived, Webb had an idea. Instead of planting the young trees in front of the schools, he thought it would be better to put them behind the school, where the sun gets very hot in the afternoon.
"It gets so hot inside the building that the students start to sweat during their afternoon classes," said Webb. "Now the shade from our trees will bring them some relief."
"There was no argument from the teachers," he added. "When I proposed the idea, everyone said, "Now why didn't I think of that!"
The relief won't come until the trees grow taller, but the school will not have to wait long because it requested two species of trees that grow quickly.
"Time is key, and we wanted our trees to get big fast," said Webb. "We were given a wide choice, from shrubs to fruit trees. We requested eucalyptus and willow trees." Webb said he is also looking forward to finally seeing some wildlife in the school yard at Marina Hills High School.
"If all you have is a grass lawn with no trees, you can't expect the local birds to come and visit," said Webb. "They have no place to make their nests. Now that will change, and we'll be able to see birds from our classroom windows."
What decision was changed?
A. Which type of tree should be chosen
B. When the old trees should be cut down
C. Which trees should be dug up
D. Where the new trees should be planted
