Answer:
A) New Zealanders helped a lost emperor penguin return to the Antarctic.
Explanation:
The article "Wayward Penguin Released South of New Zealand" recounts the journey of a lost emperor penguin who was found in New Zealand. The news article narrates how he was cared for and then released back to the open ocean, saving his life.
The article includes how the emperor penguin was first discovered one June day on the beach. Unaccustomed to the presence of an emperor penguin, the people of New Zealand found it a sight to see. When it became evident that the penguin wasn't trying to get back to his 'home', the scientists worked together to help save the lost penguin and nurture it back to health and then eventually release him to the open oceans.
Thus, the main idea of the article is that of how New Zealanders helped save a lost penguin and return it back to his 'home'. So, the correct answer is option A.
