Read the passage and answer the questions.

Why are there so many animals in big cities? (      ) One reason is that many cities are built on biologically fertile and productive land areas, which are attractive to creatures. (      ) Another reason is due to urban areas becoming greener. (      ) Cities have begun building more gardens, parks, and legally protected areas for educational, recreational, or other purposes, attracting more wild creatures. (      ) Peregrine falcons, for example, use tall buildings for nesting sites, man-made lighting to hunt for prey at night, and warm urban air currents to soar easily.
