Read the passage and answer the question.
What is the most poisonous creature on earth? Many people guess that the answer would be a snake, a jellyfish, a scorpion, or a spider. Actually, most scientists agree that the most venomous animal is a harmless-looking small golden frog.

Why did the author write this paragraph?
To frighten the reader.
To teach the reader about the golden frog.
To make the reader confused.
