Institute of Technology, where he studied design and illustration. That's where he developed his unusual art style.

     When he graduated from school he went to New York City for a job. He got jobs doing magazine illustrations, decorating department store windows, greeting cards, record albums, book covers, and suns, clouds, and raindrops for television weather reports. He still was not

What is the best way to describe the purpose of

this reading selection? How to Avoid Sharks

Considering that hundreds of millions of people participate in water activities stimulating to sharks, the chances of being attacked by a shark are pretty low. Only 71 shark attacks occurred worldwide in the year 2007, and only one resulted in a casualty. If you are still concerned, however, take these simple precautions to stay on top of the food chain.

First of all, stay in groups. Sharks are more likely to attack a solitary individual. Also, avoid areas where sharks are likely to feed, such as fishing spots, drop offs, sand bars, and river mouths, and enjoy the ocean during the day because sharks most often hunt at night, dusk, and dawn.

Like any good predator, sharks know what to look for when hunting. Reflections of light often come from fish scales, and the scent of blood is a telltale sign of life. For these reasons, make sure to take off any shiny jewelry, avoid wearing bright and contrasting colors, such as yellow and orange, and stay out of the water if you are bleeding or menstruating. If you do encounter a shark, get out of the water as calmly and quickly as possible.

What is the best way to describe the purpose of the reading selection?A. to entertain with a story about sharks B. to persuade readers to care for sharks C. to teach readers how to avoid sharks D. to express an opinion about sharks
