  7. 7This passage was adapted from How to Save a Planet: A User’s Guide by Mark Van Putten.
    About 100 townspeople from Cape Charles, Virginia (nearly 10 percent of the town's residents), gathered on the beach to cheer on Hampton's return to Chesapeake Bay.
    Line Hampton, a loggerhead sea turtle, had been stranded a

Does it reflect an understanding of—and a commitment to deal with—habitat degradation and climate change, the global threats facing sea turtles and
    (Line 15) us? How can we save a planet?

    2. Bthey are rightfully skeptical
    3. Cthey are reserved
