Directions (1-3): Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:

While the lion and the tiger are the focus of special conservation efforts due to their vastly reduced numbers, it is the leopard, among the big cats, that may now face the greater threat from poachers and illegal wildlife traders. The danger was brought home last year when sales inspectors stopped and searched a truck in Uttar Pradesh. They stumbled upon packages of leopard skins numbered and signed "Tsering", the trade name of major dealer, who, officers suspect, was planning to smuggle them out of India via Nepal and Tibet. There were also clay and other body parts. The leopard is threatened by exactly the same predators as the tiger by traditional medicine practitioners in China, Japan and other East Asian countries.
