⏭The passage states that the Australian government declined further involvement in 1934, 1943, and 1948 despite repeated pleas for assistance from farmers.

⏭This strongly implies that emus continued to pose a problem in those years, leading to farmers’ continued appeals.

⏭Therefore, it's logical to conclude that emus were still destroying crops during the 1930s and 1940s, even though no renewed military support was given after 1932.

📌The passage acknowledges that plastic has many advantages, such as convenience and durability, but it heavily emphasizes the negative consequences: poor recyclability, environmental pollution, accumulation in landfills, and harm to wildlife and ecosystems.

📌The mention of a floating island of plastic and plastic seeping into air, water, and food further underscores the urgent need to reduce its usage. 📌Therefore, the most logical inference is that despite its convenience, the drawbacks of plastic outweigh its benefits, pointing to the need for reduction in use.

📌This pair best illustrates why plastic is a divisive topic—it highlights the conflict between the benefits and the drawbacks.

📌The passage acknowledges that plastic has many advantages (such as convenience and durability), but also emphasizes that it is difficult to recycle efficiently, especially single-use items like packaging and water bottles.

📌This contrast explains why plastic use sparks debate: it’s both useful and harmful, making it a complex issue with no easy solution.

💎The second paragraph focuses on how Director Juliette Cho uses camera techniques—like capturing shadows, peripheral movements, and close-up shots—to create a claustrophobic, edgy atmosphere. 💎These choices are described as putting the viewer in Keisha’s suspicious mindset, enhancing the tense tone of the film.

💎The summary that best captures this idea is the one that emphasizes direction and cinematography as the driving forces behind the film’s suspenseful feel.
