When Gustave Eiffel and his team were designing the Eiffel tower, they were convinced that their design would work, but not everyone agreed. Some critics thought that a tower that tall would not handle wind very well. One famous mathematics professor claimed that high wind speeds would cause even a shorter tower to collapse. Other people had a different concern. After construction began, a group of 300 artists, writers, and architects tried to have the project stopped. They thought the tower would look ridiculous and would harm the Paris skyline the same way a huge black smokestack would.

The armadillo is a strange animal. It looks strange, and it acts strange. And in a strange way, it has become very important in the battle against one of mankind's strangest and most terrible diseases. The armadillo was given its name by the early Spanish explorers in Central America. Since it is native only to the Americas, the Spanish had never seen one before. They must have stared at the first one in great surprise. El armadillo they called it, meaning "the armored one." And it does look somewhat like a soldier's helmet with feet, or maybe an iron football. But that's only the body. At one end, there is a long, round, pointed tail. At the other end is a head almost as long and as pointed as the tail.

The author most likely wrote this selection in order to-?

• describe how armadillos look and how they received their name

• explain how armadillos are being use to fight against deadly diseases

• entertain the reader with information about Spanish explorers in Central America

• educate the reader on the armadillo's habitat and diet
