but passage suggests that marine animals have zero risk of pollution. That could be it, or why would you say that accorsing to passage, C) ocean contamination is not possible according to passage. WOWW.

i think, i can do a better job. and i will, one i get some things done in a year.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.

Five years ago a powerful earthquake and a following tsunami struck Japan's north eastern coast, killing 19000 people. The disaster led to the melt down of three nuclear reactors at Fukushima.

5 years later, cleanup work at the reactor site is still underway. Although many contaminated buildings have been cleared and radiation is low it will take decades to restore the area completely.

Residents have been able to return to near by villages but about 100,000 former citizens of Fukushima cannot come back yet. Thousands are still living in temporary housing provided by the government.

One of the problems that Tepco, the energy company that operates Fukushima, faces is water. Groundwater from the nearby mountains continues to flow through the contaminated site. Filters must clean the water and remove radiation. At the moment, workers are building a wall around the nuclear complex to prevent rain and ground water from getting into the basement of surrounding houses. Environmentalists are worried that radioactive water may flow into the ocean and affect fish population.

Another problem is the nuclear fuel which melted down. The fuel rods inside the reactor are still in place, however,authorities do not want to build a concrete containment,similar to the one that was built in Chernobyl 30 years ago.

 What according to the passage, is not true?

Options:
A)

 government is providing temporary housing to the people affected

B)

 all the contaminated buildings have been cleared

C)

 ocean doesn't run the risk of being contaminated

D)

 fish population will be adversely affected

Solution:

 The passage mentioned that “many” contaminated buildings have been cleared and many people are still living in temporary houses.
