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.

15. Infer and Explain: Does Walter Mitty rely on daydreams to change the truth of his everyday life?

Mitty does seem to rely on daydreams to change the truth of his everyday life.  He uses his daydreams to replace his humdrum everyday life with exciting, heroic truths of his “character” lives.  The excitement of his daydreams then creeps into his real-life interactions and goals.

A. however

Explanation:

This question refers to Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run".

Squeaky is the protagonist and the narrator of the story and she's also a runner.

May Day races approach and Squeaky wants to run her favorite race, 50-yard dash. On the other hand, her mother also wants her to participate in May Pole dancing, but Squeaky thinks that's stupid.

We clearly see two opposing views, Squeaky's and her mother's. If we want to write them both in the same sentence, we need to use a conjunction that expresses opposition.

Looking at the given options, only "however" meets the criterion.

What is Zoot suit?

The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of violent altercations that took place in Los Angeles between mobs of American military, off-duty police officers, and civilians and young Latinos and other minorities.

The June 1943 riots were more about racial conflict than fashion, despite getting their name from the baggy clothes that many minority adolescents were donning at the time.

Dance halls were well-liked gathering places throughout the 1930s for swing dancing, socializing, and decompressing from the Great Depression's financial strain.

Therefore, Billie wants to know more about the zoot suit fashion trend of the late 1930s and early 1940s. The correct word is “zoot suit” 1930s.

She had learned to dread that tone of his voice; it was the tone he used when he was planning to “put something over”8in a business deal.“Whoever broke into my closet last Winter and stole my liquor will probably try it again once we are out of here,” he went on, “only this time he’ll wish he hadn’t.”She caught her breath at the cruel vindictiveness of his manner as one by one he dropped the tablets into the bottle and held it up to watch them dissolve.“What are they?” she asked, “something to make him sick?”And how!” He seemed fascinated as he saw the thegenialBourbon change into a lethal dose: “At least no one has found an antidote:9once it’s down its curtains.”10He corked his bottled vengeance and set it back on the shelf alongside the little whiskey glass.“Everything nice and handy,” he remarked approvingly. “Now, Mr. Thief, when you break in, drink heartily;11I won’t begrudge12you this one.”The woman’s face was pale. “Don’t do it, Judson,” she gasped. “It’s horrible — it’s murder.” The law doesn’t call it to murder if I shoot a thief who is entering my house by force,” he said harshly.“Also, the use of rat poison is quite legal. The only way any rat can get into this closet is to break in. What happens then is his affair, not mine.” Don’t do it, Judson,” she begged. “The law doesn’t punish burglary by death; so what right have you—” When it comes to protecting my property I make my laws.” His deep voice suggested a big dog growling at threatened loss of a bone.“But all they did was to steal a little liquor,” she pleaded. “Probably some boys off on a lark.13Theydiddodocan't do any real damage.” That’s not the point,” he said. “If a man holds me up and robs me of five dollars it makes me just assure as if he took a hundred.

“Ruthless” by William DeMille, from the anthology50 Short Stories: An Omnibus of Short Stories, edited by Mary Anne Howard (1945), is in the public domain. She made one last effort. “We won’t be here till next spring. I can’t bear to think of that deathtrap14waiting there all the time. Suppose something happens to us — and no one knows — ”He chuckled once more at her words. “We’ll take a chance on that,” he said. “I’ve made my pile15bytaking chances. If I should die, you can do as you please. The staff will be yours.”It was useless to argue, she knew. He had always been ruthless in business and whenever anything crossed him. Things had to be done his way. She turned toward the outer door with a sigh of defeat.“I’ll walk down the road and say goodbye at the farmhouse,” she said quietly. “You can pick me up there.” She had made up her mind to tell Alec’s wife. Someone had to know.“Okay, my dear,” he smiled genially, “and don’t worry about your poor, abused little burglar. No one is going to get hurt who hasn’t got it coming to him.”As she went down the path he started to close the closet door; then paused as he remembered his hunting boots drying outside on the porch. They belonged in the closet, so leaving the door open he went to fetch them from the heavy, rustic16table on which they stood, along with his bag and topcoat. Alec was coming up from the lake and waved to him from a distance. A chipmunk, hearing Judson’sheavy tread, abandoned the acorn he was about to add to his store within the cabin wall and disappeared, like an electric bulb burning out. Judson, reaching for his boots, stepped fairly upon the acorn, his foot slid from under him and his head struck the massive table as he fell. Several minutes later he began to regain his senses. Alec’s strong arm was supporting his as he lay on the porch and a kindly voice was saying: “’ Twarn’t much of a fall, Mr. Webb. You aren’t cut any; just knocked out for a minute. Here, take this; it’ll pull you together.”A small whiskey glass was pressed to his lips. Dazed and half-conscious, he drank.
