Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows:

From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.

In the passage about seals and sea lions, what is the purpose of the transition on the whole?

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.

The Hunley recovery team planned to display Diane’s casts in a museum that was about to be built. But did the casts belong in a public exhibit? Some people objected to displaying soldiers' remains—even though they were plastic replicas. Diane saw nothing wrong with it. In fact, she had no qualms about showing the real bones.

"If people want to really learn about the soldiers,” she said, "you have to show the bones. The bone is a record of a person’s life, especially the last part—the circumstances of death.”

How and why did the Hunley sink? What can we learn about the lives—and deaths—of its ill-fated crew? Scientists will likely be investigating the answers for years to come, thanks in part to Diane’s casts.

What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt?

The author disagrees with Diane France and her decision to show the soldiers' bones at a museum.
The author appreciates Diane France for helping scientists by making casts of the soldiers' bones.
The author believes that Diane France should have done more to help the scientists understand the Hunley submarine.
The author hopes Diane will use her skills on military intelligence missions in the future.
