1. during the 1970s, a new type of pet became popular in north america. although they were
actually just brine shrimp, they were marketed as "sea monkeys." they don't actually look
like monkeys at all, but were branded as such due to their long tails. when sea monkeys first
began to be sold in the united states, they were sold under the brand name “instant life."
later, when they became known as sea monkeys, the cartoon drawings that were featured in
comic books showed creatures that resembled humans more than shrimp. the creative
marketing of these creatures can only be described as genius, and at the height of their
popularity in the 1970s, they could be found in as many as one in five homes.
based on the information in the passage, it can be inferred that
a. sea monkeys were more popular when they were marketed as "instant life."
b. sea monkeys wouldn't have been as popular if they had been marketed as "brine shrimp."
c. most people thought they were actually purchasing monkeys that lived in the sea.
d. there are more homes today that have sea monkeys than there were in the 1970s.
