If you will find a map of the West Indies in your atlas or geography, you will also find Puerto Rico. It is one of the four Greater Antilles Islands, and lies east of Haiti and farthest out in the Atlantic Ocean. It is over four hundred miles from the east coast of Cuba, one thousand miles from Havana, and about one thousand four hundred and fifty miles from New York. In size, it is the smallest of the group. Its area is about three thousand five hundred and fifty square miles. Its average length is about ninety-five miles; its average breadth about thirty-five miles. In shape, it resembles the State of Connecticut, though it is only three-fourths the size of that State.   According to the passage, which statement best describes Puerto Rico?

1 The way emperor penguins care for and protect their unhatched eggs is one of the wonders of nature. 2 The only land creatures able to survive the Antarctic winter, these birds must care for their young while withstanding 24-hour darkness, gale-strength winds, and temperatures of 60 to 80 degrees below zero. 3 Each year, at the start of the Antarctic autumn, female emperor penguins each lay a single egg on bare ice. 4 Then, after transferring care of the eggs to their mates, they take off across the open ice for the nearest fishing site. 5 The males spend the next 60 days with neither food nor light, living off their considerable body fat and balancing the eggs on their feet under a protective flap of skin. 6 During this time, they adapt to the brutal temperatures by huddling together in flocks of hundreds. 7 Although penguins are unable to fly, they are superb swimmers. 8 If all goes well, the females return from the sea with a meal of fish just as the eggs are hatching.   Which of the following best summarizes the main points of the passage?
