A student is writing an argumentative essay about why people should be careful tuna consumers for her life science class. Read the paragraph from her report and the directions that follow. (q40)

Apart from Japan, the United States is the biggest consumer of tuna in the world. While tuna can have some nutritional benefits for humans, it is important that we take a close look at the tuna we are eating for several reasons. First, many types of tuna are endangered, overfished, or at least threatened. We must educate ourselves on the type of tuna we are eating to make sure that we are not eating any that may become extinct. Second, tuna fishermen sometimes catch other marine life unintentionally. This "bycatch" most often includes dolphins and birds. These animals are innocent victims. For this reason, we must make sure that the tuna we eat is "dolphin friendly." Third, tuna contains mercury, which is poisonous to humans. It is recommended, therefore, that we not eat too much of it.
