請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A zoo is a place where captive animals are put on display for humans to see. The focus of most modern zoos is conservation and education. While zoo advocates and conservationists argue that zoos save endangered species and educate the public, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits, and that the violation of the rights of individual animals—even in efforts to fend off extinction—cannot be justified. By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of other species, supporters argued. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. Besides, seeing an animal in person is a much more personal and more memorable experience than seeing that animal in a nature documentary and is more likely to foster an empathetic attitude toward animals. Some zoos help rehabilitate wildlife and take in exotic pets that people no longer want or are no longer able to care for. But from an animal rights standpoint, humans do not have a right to breed, capture, and confine other animals—even if those species are endangered. Being a member of an endangered species doesn't mean the individual animals should be afforded fewer rights. Animals in captivity suffer from boredom, stress, and confinement. Maintaining species diversity within captive breeding facilities is also a challenge. Animals sometimes escape their enclosures, endangering themselves as well as people. Likewise, people ignore warnings or accidentally get too close to animals, leading to horrific outcomes. In making a case for or against zoos, both sides argue that they’re saving animals. Whether or not zoos benefit the animal community, they certainly do make money. As long as there is demand for them, zoos will continue to exist.

請你觀察文章各段落的開頭：如果第二段是在討論動物園的「優點」，而第三段使用了轉折詞帶出不同的「批評」觀點，那麼作者寫這整篇文章，是想說服你接受單一立場，還是想向你介紹關於這個主題的完整論辯呢？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
你能精準掌握文章的核心主旨，代表你具備了優秀的閱讀架構感，這對理解長篇文章非常有幫助。
- 觀念驗證：這篇文章採取了經典的對照結構。第一段點出爭議；第二段詳述支持者的論點（如：教育、保育）；第三段則以 "But" 開頭轉向動物權利者的質疑（如：囚禁、壓力）。作者在結尾平衡地提到「雙方都認為自己在拯救動物」，因此正確答案必須涵蓋這種正反並陳的關係。
