All right spyros were on ten of twelve Down May

00:06

seem like a ton All right that's right there That's

00:10

our focus We're going to go down to paragraph four

00:12

skipping all this craft Find writing on top Okay here

00:15

we go Since the year fifteen eighty there have been

00:18

two hundred seventy two confirmed attacks by great white sharks

00:22

on humans That may seem like a ton but when

00:26

we consider that millions of people under the ocean every

00:29

year for recreational purposes it is minuscule in comparison Look

00:34

terrible writing terrible ground Well let's think about this The

00:41

phrase in question actually refers to the number two seventy

00:45

00:58

means two thousand when its weight like how much do

01:04

work were actually adding up the body weights Of all

01:07

the people who did that they all weighed What would

01:10

that be like Nine pounds Yeah that wouldn't work either

01:13

So it's a lot of attacks It's that's wrong and

01:16

huge There seems to refer to two hundred seventy two

01:20

is a number but huge is too imprecise And thankfully

01:23

one answer choice actually for us to two hundred seventy

01:26

was a large number So it's the most effective description

01:29

here right Though it should read That may seem like

01:33

a large number but when we consider that millions of

01:37

people into the ocean every year for recreational purposes yeah

01:40

okay so that's it It's b and we're done
