VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.

                                                                  Son Doong Cave

      Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Son Doong Cave was first found in 1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by a group of scientists from the British Cave Research Association.  Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago when the river flowed through the limestone mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground tunnel. In soft limestone areas, the collapse of the tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant domes afterward. The cave is about 200m high, 200m wide, and at least 8 5km long. Especially, Son Doong consists of two entrances, which are unique among explored caves in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Exploring the cave, visitors were surprised with the spectacular scenery of numerous stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are more than 70 meters high. Deep inside the cave exists a grandiose tropical jungle called the “Garden of Eden" by the explorers. The jungle is home to a diversified system of fauna and flora. Besides, the cave possesses a 2.5-kilometer underground river. Not far from the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl collection” consisting of tens of thousands of small stone pieces in dry ponds, contributing to the magnificent beauty of the cave.
