Read the 'letter to the editor' given below: Identify the option that describes the relationship between the second and the third sentences. The recent hype created by the media over the mauling of a visitor by a white tiger at the Delhi Zoo Portrays the animal as a bloodthirsty monster ('A Zoo tragedy', xx, September 24). While it is sad that a young life was lost due to the negligence of the Zoo authorities, it certainly wrong to paint an animal born and raised in captivity as an evil brute. Given the shouting and the stones being pelted on the tiger, even the calmest animals could be provoked into turning aggressive. There should be greater focus on instilling discipline among people who visit the zoo. - BS zzz
