(1) A modern dentist would certainly enjoy having a hadrosaur as a client. (2) What a lot of business it would bring! (3) Though

an adult human being has only 32 teeth, this duck-billed dinosaur of the Late Cretaceous Period had about 2,000 teeth, with 500 along each side of each jaw. (4) Unlike human beings, who grow two sets of teeth in their lifetimes, the hadrosaurs, like sharks and modern reptiles, had built-in replacement teeth. (5) In skeletal remains of the jaws of these toothy beasts, scientists have found entire banks of replacement teeth. (6) These stand-ins rested in a bed of cartilage, ready to substitute for teeth that became worn down or broke off—like having a built-in dentist! (7) That is a good thing because microwear studies of hadrosaur teeth have revealed tiny cracks and chips, leading some scientists to believe that the dinosaurs ate tough plants that damaged teeth.
The following question has two parts. Answer Part A first, and then Part B.

Which choice best describes the author’s purpose in this passage?

A. to persuade readers to like hadrosaurs instead of fearing them

Which line is an example of a subjective opinion? It seems that Kahlo’s parents did not care about their daughter. Frida Kahlo’s
Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>
