Time to "Bee" Wary, by Gordon Winters
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 details relate to the main fact in the third paragraph? (5 points)
A) Killer bees attack in great numbers. They swarm for many reasons. They chase people and stay angry for hours.
B) Killer bees have very aggressive behavior. Their stings are very dangerous. They have caused many deaths.
C) Killer bees sting in just three seconds. They sting in large numbers. They cause allergic reactions in their victims.
D) Killer bees have been the cause of deaths in South and Central America. They've caused deaths in Mexico and the U.S.
Answer:
I believe C.
Explanation:
The main point in paragraph 3 is that, well, killer bees are dangerous for their sting. A emphasizes on the swarming, not their sting. B emphasizes on their aggressive nature. C actually mentions the stings and digs into it a bit. D states where killer bees are most likely to sting.
Read the excerpt from Hamlet.
Hamlet: Let me see.—[Takes the skull.]—Alas! poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning?
Which analysis is most justified by the excerpt?
A)As the play draws to a close, Hamlet still has not conquered his fear of death.
B)Hamlet’s visit to the graveyard leads to him become obsessed with his death.
C)At the end of the play, Hamlet literally faces death and regains a sense of hope.
D)Hamlet has abandoned his plans by this point and has reconciled himself to death.
Answer:
The analysis that is most justified by the excerpt is:
A) As the play draws to a close, Hamlet still has not conquered his fear of death.
Explanation:
In the famous Shakespearean play, Hamlet, prince of Denmark, is tormented by the idea of death. And, as the excerpt shows, he does not conquer his fear of death even though the play is drawing to a close. The issue is the fact that Hamlet is not sure about what happens after one dies. What if the afterlife is even worse than the life one is living now? Notice how he talks about and to the skull, how he feels sick to his stomach just by looking at it. Death still makes Hamlet uneasy. He can't help but compare the skull to what it was when its owner was alive.

How does the butterfly that Eckles steps on contribute to the theme of the story
The butterfly is able to show a modern problem in society, you can kill or change one little thing without knowing. Causing a huge affect for everyone, you will only notice when you can no longer go back. The exact quotes are “Not a little thing like that! Not a butterfly!” cried Eckels. “It fell to the floor, an exquisite thing, a small thing that could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time.”
Below is a paragraph about how the story fits into the science fiction genre.
Hope this helps!
“The Sound of Thunder” fits into a science fiction genre, due to the fact that the characters go back into time; with the events that follow the whole world is changed when one little tiny thing is affected. Many of the things that happen in the story can be applied into real life, many of which you would not think about. The theme of the story is very realistic but futuristic at the same time; therefore, making it very complicated with real problems in the modern world but not having it appear that way. The story has a diamon effect when Eckles stepped on the butterfly it had changed everything in the world when they had returned. The exact quotes are “Not a little thing like that! Not a butterfly!” cried Eckels. “It fell to the floor, an exquisite thing, a small thing that could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time.”
