Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The passage and chart about dolphins show that common beliefs (myths) about dolphins often differ from the real - life behavior of dolphins. So the main idea is that the truth about dolphin behavior often contradicts people's ideas about dolphins.
  2. Wild dolphins are likely to bite tourists to protect themselves as they may feel threatened.
  3. The table lists the opening times of polls in different cities or towns, so a good title is "Opening Times of Polls".
  4. For a primary election in Middletown, the polls open at 8 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. according to the table.

Answer:
