 \nOne reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as it oncewas.This has caused chemical changes to sea water.Some sea animals,like snails,are affected by these changes.Now there are fewer snails making shells.Peoplevisiting the beach often take shells home as souvenirs.This is another problem.Other people even take shells for their own pet hermit crabs!They do not realizethat hermit crabs in the wild need those shells too.  \nThe hermit crabs in the ocean have learned to adapt to the changing housingsituation.Like the good recyclers they are,hermit crabs started moving into smallbottles,plastic cups,and other ocean litter.None of these are very good choices forcrabs.  \nNow people are working to solve this hermit crab housing shortage.They areteaching beach-goers to leave seashells where they belong—at the seashore!Somepeople even make fake seashells that they hope the hermit crabs will like.Forexample,a group called Project Shellter invited people who visited their website tocreate different designs for hermit crab shells.  \nThese designers had a lot to consider.What kind of material should be used to builda seashell?The material must be light enough for the hermit crab to carry,butstrong enough to protect the crab from predators.The fake shells could not containglue or any other substance that might harm a hermit crab.Another challenge with  \nbuilding a hermit crab home was the opening to the shell.Too big would mean thecrab would not feel safe.Too small would be uncomfortable,and the crab would notwant to move in.  \nProject Shellter designs were tested on hermit crabs in two aquariums.That way,project leaders could watch the crabs to find out which shells were their favorites.The most popular of these new hermit crab homes are made of plastic but they looklike real seashells.  \nThese artificial shells have two important purposes.People who own hermit crabscan give them to their pets.That keeps real seashells in the ocean,rather than inhome aquariums.The Project Shellter shells are also placed in the wild for hermitcrabs to find.Lucky hermit crabs can move into these new dream homes and leavethose plastic cups behind.  \n1.Read the sentence and the directions that follow.  \nChemical changes in the ocean waters have affected the production of seashellsused by hermit crabs  \nWhich sentence from the paragraph best shows this idea?  \nA.One reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as itonce was.  \nB.This has caused chemical changes to sea water.  \nC.Some sea animals,like snails,are affected by these changes.  \nD.Now there are fewer snails making","cbCaiqawcLmhdimH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqawcLmhdimH","pdf",317902,"English","# Reading Passage\n## Practice Questions (1-4)","[{\"question\":\"What is question 1 asking students to identify?\",\"answer\":\"Question 1 asks students to choose the sentence that best shows how chemical changes in ocean waters affect the production of seashells used by hermit crabs.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main idea targeted by question 2?\",\"answer\":\"Question 2 asks students to describe the main idea of the paragraph about hermit crabs having trouble finding perfect homes because there are not enough shells.\"},{\"question\":\"Which word in the text means “fake,” and how is it used in question 3?\",\"answer\":\"Question 3 asks which sentence contains a word meaning “fake.” The choices include sentences that reference artificial shells designed to look like real seashells.\"}]","New Homes for Hermit Crabs - Grade 5 ELA Practice Test | PDF",1791072680,13]
