WHOMEVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY GETS BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Africanized honey bees were created in Brazil in 1957. Scientists mixed local bees with African ones to create a bee that would make more honey. They ended up with something much different. The new bees evolved in unexpected ways. They multiplied and migrated north. These Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons.

Killer bees are far more aggressive than their relatives. They have been known to attack in great numbers, even when there has been no direct threat on their hives. They have swarmed because of loud noises, dark clothing, bright jewelry, and even strong perfume. They will chase a person for more than a quarter of a mile and remain angered for up to 24 hours.

Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed. So many stings in such a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die.

A final reason why "killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused. Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very difficult for the victim to escape. Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive.

Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously. It is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Which sentence from the conclusion paragraph best rephrases the author's thesis?
a)Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted.

b)Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously.

c)You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart.

But there is another benefit: switching to renewable energy can create jobs. One environmental group says solar power could mean hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States.

What are some examples of imagery in the poem? ABANDONED FARMHOUSE


He was a big man, says the size of his shoes

on a pile of broken dishes by the house;

a tall man too, says the length of the bed

in an upstairs room; and a good, God-Fearing man,

says the bible with a broken back

on the floor below the window, dusty with sun;

but not a man for farming, say the fields

cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn.

A woman lived with him, say the bedroom wall

papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves

covered with oilcloth, and they had a child,

says the sandbox made from a tractor tire.

Money was scarce, say the jars of plum preserves

and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole,

and the winters cold, say the rags in the window frames.

It was lonely here, says the narrow gravel road.

Something went wrong, says the empty house

in the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields

say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars

in the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.

And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard

Like branches after a storm—

a rubber cow, a rusty tractor with a broken plow,

a doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.

Alisha is writing a research paper about the effects of driving cars on the environment. She found statistics about cars and air pollution from a group called Save the Planet on its website www.savetheplanet.org. In addition to the information about air pollution, Alisha also saw statements such as “Save the planet, ride a bike” and “Mother Nature wants you to carpool.”

Which statement is the best evaluation of the website’s credibility?

The website is definitely not credible because it is pushing an opinion and Alisha should not use any information from it.
The website might be credible even though it expresses an opinion, and Alisha should check other reliable sources to verify the information before deciding whether or not to use it.
The website is definitely credible because it states proven facts about pollution, and Alisha should not worry about using information from this source.
The website is probably not credible because it is a .org website and .org websites are not credible sources of information, so Alisha should not use any information from it.

Josey wasn't the best pupil at Sunday school. She often fell asleep and one day while she was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question. "Who is the creator of the universe?"
