Recent surveys around the world have found some very sad and troubling news. Bees are not doing well. According to Time: Science & Space,
"an estimated ten million beehives ... have been lost since 2006." What's worse, scientists are not sure why. Most beekeepers will tell you that
bees tend to die in large numbers every spring. This is normal and necessary to keep a hive of bees healthy. But when the deaths add up to
more than half the bees in an entire country, that is something altogether different and dire. Scientists have called this "colony-collapse
disorder" or CCD. This name describes the effect, though, and not the cause of the die-out. Scientists simply do not know what is killing the
bees.
Many things make it hard for bees. Varroa mites move into a colony and weaken it. Further, these rites carry viruses that attack those that
survive. In addition, a new bacterium was recently discovered that attacks bees intestinally and kills them. Beekeepers go to great lengths to
protect bees frorn these invaders, and for many years have been able to control them. All these attackers and the methods used to combat
them do stress the bees, however.
Many feel the problem is not some new threat, but a decline in the habitat available to bees. Development of grasslands once home to wild
flowers and food for bees has been universal. Pavement makes it easy to drive, but it replaces wild grasses and other food sources for bees.
Perhaps, long before the mites and parasites moved in, hurnans took away enough of the bees' habitat to weaken their health. We plowed
under a varied habitat and planted-in many cases a single plant like beets. Then we sprayed all kinds of chemicals on the beets to keep other
bugs away and in doing so also harmed bees. Now, to treat all the mites and other invaders, bee keepers use additional chericals to kill the
invaders. These chemicals also shorten the life of the bees. Have the use of chemicals, loss of habitat, and invading parasites made life
impossible for bees? Experts continue to argue various theories, but few have any answers.
Colony collapse disorder is perhaps one of the most mysterious problems modern science has tried to solve. Whether the problem is
environmental or an unknown disease, we will all feel the effects if bees continue to decline. Bees affect almost every aspect of the human food
chain. From the fruits, vegetables, and grains we eat, to the grasses and grains we feed our livestock, we depend on bees to keep us healthy.
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, bees account for 15 billion dollars i crops. Honey is a treasure for sure, but the real gold
is in the strawberries, apples, peaches, and green beans we eat and need to stay healthy ourselves. All told, the outlook for bees is not good.
The outlook for humans may not bee" so good either.

how is death perceived in the poem Full fathom five thy father lies?
Answer:
Death is perceived as a meaningful change/transformation.
Explanation:
The poem "Full Fathom Five Thy Father Lies" is from William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". The 9-line poem is in the form of a sing sung by Ariel, the spirit to Prince Ferdinand.
In the poem/song, Ariel talks of how the "presumed dead" king's bones became "corals" and his eyes turned to "pearls". He then continues to sing of how everything about the dead king "suffers a sea-change Into something rich and strange." This suggestion shows how Ariel seems to 'console' the young prince that his father's not gone but rather transformed into something else.
Thus, the act of dying or death is perceived to be a meaningful change or transformation.

In Elizabeth Bishop’s “Sestina,” which six words repeat in the envoi?
A} September, rain, grandmother, stove, tears, house
B}Kitchen, September, rain, grandmother, stove, house
C} Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house
D}Grandmother, almanac, kitchen, stove, child, house
Answer:
C} Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house.
Explanation:
A sestina is a poem that consists of six stanzas of six lines each, followed by an envoi that is the last stanza with three lines. And there is a specific pattern of rhyming in the poem, which is ABCDEF, FAEBDC, CFDABE, ECBFAD, DEACFB, BDFECA with the envoi's rhyme EDA while also containing the rhymed words of FBC in between the lines.
Elizabeth Bishop's "Sestina" the rhymed words in the first six stanzas are "house, grandmother, child, stove, almanac, tears" which embody the lettering "ABCDEF" in the rhyme pattern. Now, these words are used in the last stanza, the envoi with the three words "almanac stove, house" ending the lines but the other three "grandmother, child, tears" are incorporated in the middle of the lines.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
C. Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house

Click to read the passage from "Lifeboat Ethics," by Garrett Hardin. Then
answer the question.
Which of the following best describes the author's use of deductive
reasoning?
A. He cites population growth statistics to present a more logical argument and establish his credibility.
B. He uses the lifeboat metaphor to appeal to the reader's emotions.
C. He describes population growth in the United States more specifically and then examines population growth throughout the world generally
D. He describes population growth generally and then explains how
that applies to the United States and poorer nations more specifically
The correct option is B. He uses the lifeboat metaphor to appeal to the reader's emotions best describes the author's use of deductive reasoning. No one individual or organization has the right to deplete, misuse, or consume more of its resources than is justifiable. He intended for the reader to consider the world's disasters and how they would be resolved if everyone had access to the same resources and money.
What is the lifeboat dilemma?The moral conundrum produced by picturing the following circumstance is known as "lifeboat ethics" or "the lifeboat problem." There are currently 20 people in your lifeboat, which has a capacity of only 15. If nobody gets off the boat, it will sink.
In the lifeboat metaphor, Hardin pictured rich nations as sitting in lifeboats full of rich people, while the poor sat in their own boats, many of whom were falling out due to overcrowding, with a high risk of drowning, and screamed for help to be taken aboard the less crowded boats of the rich in order to be saved.

Which of the following is the best question Cameron can
use to locate additional avenues of exploration into the
topic of why giant pandas are endangered?
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer: B. What factors are reducing giant pandas’ natural habitat?
Explanation:
The question first states that Cameron´s initial research on why giant pandas are endangered found that giant pandas are native to China, they eat mostly bamboo, they have a reproductive rate of one cub in two years, their natural habitat has shrunk to a small area in central China, and around 1,600 to 8,000 are estimated to be alive in the wild.
Considering this first information, out of the questions provided, the best to find possible explanations to why giant pandas are endangered is what factors are reducing giant pandas’ natural habitat.
Option A would be incorrect because knowing how many pandas are there in zoos would not be useful to a study on wildlife. Option C is also incorrect because, although the cause for the lack of an accurate census of how many pandas live in the wild should be studied and solved, is not the objective of this study. And option D is incorrect because knowing other researchers working on finding out more about threats to the great panda could be useful to the study, but not the objective of the study.
how can you tell that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy based on the plot and character information the prologue contains?
Answer:
the prologue helps discern the play is a tragedy because:
1 ) it uses the phrase "star crossed lovers" which literally means lovers whose love is agianst the stars. This tells the audience that people and/or situation does not favour these lovers.
2) a tragedy is truly tragic if it doesn't start of as bad. With the introduction of romance followed immediately by the prediction of their death.
3) another element of a true tragedy is reversal of fortunes after the protagonists' demise or downfall. We were informed about the feud between their famillies, which must hav been why they were star crossed lovers, and the fact that the famillies feud was put to an end by their children's death tells us the play is a tragedy.

Prepared speech about beliefs in my Culture
Answer:
Culture is the total way of life that people in the society are blessed with. Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Through culture we are governed by norms and customs, which are the pillars of any society. If these pillars are not properly followed in our society, our culture will resemble a perfume with no smell. It’s a gradual existence of presenting those norms and customs to people who surround us through music, dances, arts, crafts, food, dressing style, languages just to mention a few.
Which sentence best describes how the setting contributes to the theme of appearance versus reality?
1. The deserted anteroom, which separates Madame Loisel from her husband, shows how women often felt intentionally isolated from men. 02. The cold air, which causes Madame Loisel to shiver, emphasizes how the simple act of borrowing clothing and jewelry can improve social status. 3. The humble flat, which contains a mirror in which Madame Loisel seeks comfort, reveals her plan to use beauty and deceit to improve her reputation. 4. The shabby cab, which returns Madame Loisel home, suggests that she will never fulfill her aspiration to be embraced by the wealthy on a modest income.
Answer:
The sentence which best describes how the setting contributes to the theme of appearance versus reality is:
4. The shabby cab, which returns Madame Loisel home, suggests that she will never fulfill her aspiration to be embraced by the wealthy on a modest income.
Explanation:
This question refers to the short story "The Necklace", which also goes by the title "The Diamond Necklace", by Guy de Maupassant, a French writer who lived from 1850 to 1893.
In the story, Madame Loisel dreams of being rich and of owning beautiful things. This desire consumes her thoughts and her days. Having a party to attend, and being dissatisfied with her own clothes and accessories, Madame Loisel borrows a diamond necklace from a wealthy friend.
When she leaves the party, she and her husband are unable to find a decent cab. They end up taking a shabby cab of the type that only goes around at night, as if "ashamed to show [its] shabbiness during the day." The author chooses to give these characters only a shabby cab because he wants to contrast their appearance with their reality. Yes, they have just left a fancy party. And yes, Madame Loisel is wearing a diamond necklace (although it is actually fake, but she does not know it). However, they are still the same people they were before. Nothing has changed. They aren't wealthier all of a sudden. They will not return to a castle. They do not even own their own carriage, but need a cab to drive around.
With that in mind, the best option is number 4.
