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.

The term "red tide"【C9】______the discoloration of water that sometimes occurs in certain areas of the ocean or sea. Although the color is often red, it may also be【C10】______of brown or yellow. The World Book Encyclopedia reports that "the discolored areas may range from【C11】______a few square yards to more than 2,600 square kilometers. "
