Đáp án B.
Tạm dịch: Họ bắt đầu dùng bữa sau khi đạt được thỏa thuận.
Đáp án phù hợp nhất là B. Ta rút gọn mệnh đề trạng ngữ bằng cách bỏ đi chủ ngữ của mệnh đề bắt đầu bằng liên từ, đồng thời chuyển động từ thành V-ing. Tuy nhiên việc đạt được thỏa thuận xảy ra và hoàn thành trước việc dùng bữa nên phải dùng thì QKHT, khi rút gọn mệnh đề ta đổi thành Having + PP.
Lưu ý: Cách này chỉ được áp dụng khi 2 mệnh đề có cùng chủ ngữ.

Numerous studies are now going (35) ______ in various countries. Some of the results are contradictory but others have shown an association between moblie phone use and cancer. (36) ______, these studies are preliminary and the issue needs further, long-term investigation.
Until the scientific data are more definite, it is prudent for people to try not to use mobile phones for long period of time. Don’t think that hands-free phones are any safer either.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss?
