Question

Section BRead this paragraph and answer the questions. Papua New Guinea, Australia’s northern neighbour, has a huge variety of endangered species, with over 600 identified to date, although experts believe there are many more. Despite on-going and disruptive oil mining, significantly more species are found in the native forests within the vast oil exploration sites than in other parts of the country. Tree kangaroos, for example, are the most commonly hunted endangered mammal in the country. Most of those that survive have adapted their behaviour to be active only in darkness. However, those within the mining sites have maintained their ability to be active during daylight, and thrive due to prohibited hunting in those undisturbed native forests. Fill in the gap with ONE WORD from the paragraph. 3. Papua New Guinea is thought to have more endangered species than those already Answer Question 3[input].

The paragraph states “with over 600 identified to date, although experts believe there are many more.” That exact phrase shows the missing word.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Reading comprehension: locate the clause in the passage that expresses the idea “more than those already ___.” 
- Grammar and collocation: after “already” the expected form is a past participle/adjective (e.g., identified, found, known) that modifies “those” (i.e., those species).
- The instruction demands ONE WORD taken from the paragraph.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Scan the paragraph for a phrase meaning “already recorded/discovered.” 
- The sentence “with over 600 identified to date” directly conveys species that have been recognized so far.
- Replace the gap in the test sentence with that past participle: “those already identified.” This matches both meaning and structure.

3) Intermediate steps (text matching)
- Original clause in paragraph: “over 600 identified to date”
- Test sentence fragment: “more endangered species than those already ___.”
- Inserting the exact word from the paragraph: “identified”
- Result: “more endangered species than those already identified.”

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- “Identified” appears verbatim in the paragraph and correctly completes the sentence grammatically as a past participle modifying “those.” It preserves the intended meaning that there are more species than have been recognized so far.

5) Why other possible words are incorrect
- Words like “found,” “known,” or “discovered” might convey similar meaning but are not present in the paragraph. The task requires ONE WORD from the paragraph; only “identified” satisfies that constraint and the grammatical fit.

6) Conclusion
The correct word to fill the gap is identified, which matches the provided answer.
