It is asking you to explain why killer whales are popular with children and their trainers.
Let's practise
The killer whale is the largest member of the dolphin family. Their black bodies are marked with white patches on the underside and beside their eyes, making them look beautiful in the water. They can live to 50 years in the wild, and can be found all over the world.
Killer whales were first captured live and displayed in exhibitions in the 1960s and soon became a big hit with children at aquatic theme parks. According to their trainers, killer whales are intelligent, easy to train and playful.
