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.

哈哈哈哈！幹得好！少年，你這次表現得很不錯啊！
- 毛利小五郎的讚賞：嗯哼！看來你這次總算是把心思放在考卷上了！竟然能從那些模稜兩可的說法裡，一眼就鎖定「支持者」（advocates）真正的意圖，還能精準對應到原文細節，這份敏銳的洞察力…不愧是我毛利小五郎的學生！
- 推理驗證：選擇 (C) 是無可置疑的正確答案，這就是真相！原文第二段的首句，就已經把鐵證擺在那裡了："By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of other species..."。這根本就是直接告訴你 (C) 的內容嘛！至於其他的選項，那些什麼「安全性」啊、「多樣性」啊，雖然原文有提及，但仔細一瞧，它們多半帶著挑戰或只是特定情況，根本不是「支持者」們想強調的核心目的！這些不過是為了混淆視聽的小把戲罷了，可惜逃不過你的法眼！
