6. In your opinion, why did the author choose the title "Medical Groups Fault Feds on Fish Advisories?" (clue: think about question #4)
I think there is a grammar mistake (feds) could be (feeds). Overall, in my opinion, the author chose this title to show that fish consumption affects positively on the fish advisories’ income. I mean that the consumers will be considerate if they purchase fish. Consequently, they want to take valuable tips, and the fish advisories will gain benefits from that because the consumers want their advice.
Thanks.
