Read the passage and choose the best answer to compete each of the statements that follow
The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the rhinoceros. Its name
comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse”. The long name of this animal is often shortened to the
easier to handle term “hippo.”
The hippo has a natural affinity for the water. It does not float on top of the water; instead, it can easily walk
along the bottom of a body of water. The hippo commonly remains underwater for three to five minutes and has
been known to stay under for up to half an hour before coming up for air.
In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a number of
interesting similarities in common with the whale. When a hippo comes up after a stay at the bottom of a lake or
river, it releases air through a blowhole, just like a whale. In addition, the hippo resembles the whale in that they
both have thick layers of blubber for protection and they are almost completely hairless.

Most Americans still get married at some point in their lives, but even that group is shrinking. Among current
generations of adult American – starting with those born in 1920s – more than 90 percent have married or will
marry at some point in their lives. However, based on recent patterns of marriage and mortality, demographers
calculate that a growing share of the younger generations are postponing marriage for so long that an
unprecedented number will never marry at all.
More Americans are living together outside of marriage. Divorced and widowed people are waiting longer to
remarry. An increasing number of single women are raising children. Put these trends together with our increasing
life expectancy, and the result is inevitable. Americans are spending a record low proportion of their adult lives
married.
Married rates for unmarried men and women have dropped from their post-1950s high to record lows. Part of
this fall is due to the change in the age at which people first marry. The median age at first marriage is the age by
which half the men or women who will ever marry have done so. It fell almost continuously from the time it was
first measured, in 1890, at 22.0 years for women and 26.1 for men, to a low of 20.3 for women and 22.6 for men
between 1947 and 1962. Since then, it has risen at a rapid pace, to a record high for 23.8 for women and 26.2 for
men in 1994.
The length of time between marriages is also increasing, and more divorced people are choosing not to remarry.
In 1990, divorced men had waited an average of 3.8 years before remarrying, and divorced women had waited an
average of 3.5 years, an increase of more than one year over the average interval in 1970.
Data on cohabitation and unmarried childbearing suggest that marriage is becoming less relevant to Americans.
2.8 million of the nation’s households are unmarried couples, and one-third of them are caring for children,
according to the Census Bureau.
