Cockroaches are among the most ancient inhabitants of the earth. They were here before the time of the dinosaurs. They eat a variety of food, breed easily, and are difficult to kill.

Their population is held in check by people and other natural enemies, but nothing is totally effective against them.
In the year 2100, cockroaches will probably be:

Lobsters have been tagged so that their habits can be studied. They seem to
possess a "homing" instinct; they will travel more than a mile in order to
return to where they formerly lived. One particular vigorous member of the
species was captured and released more than 60 miles from its home. It had
migrated an astonishing distance. Considering the difficulties of rocks,
currents, and shifting sand, this was truly an epic journey.What would probably
happen if a typical lobster was caught, take 800 yards away and then released?

According to Roman accounts, many citizens in that ancient city took pride in
teaching animals to do tricks. Musical instruments were employed to tame wild
bulls and fierce lions. The beat of the drum mesmerized wild boars, and there
was one account of a bear who let a little girl ride on its back after it had
been tranquilized by the sound of a flute. These accounts may not be too far off
the mark. Today, pigeons can be trained to play table tennis and tic-tac-toe,
rats can be trained to climb ladders, play instruments, and even steer little
cars.
The most relevant inference you can make from this passage is

A football quarterback must have an amazing collection of skills. First of all, under pressure, he must be able to make split-second decisions. He must be able to judge what is happening downfield, decide whether to pass or run, and do so when strong, determined opponents are hurtling at him. He must have the ability to throw accurately, to run with speed and agility, and to change plays at the last moment. No successful National Football League Championship has ever been won by a team with a weak quarterback. You can conclude from the passage that in the National Football League
