But to their 【C2】______, a horrible sight meets their still sleepy eyes. Thousands of fish have been washed【C3】______dead. The cause of this mass destruction? A red tide!
Red tides are a global【C4】______. They have been observed on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts of the United States and Canada. They have also【C5】______in many other places. Though relatively few people are【C6】______them, red tides are not new.
