Seasoning Read the following passage and answer the questions based on what is stated or implied in the passage! Bees, classified into over 10,00 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the northenmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as food. While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom. Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, whicjh is water-proof mass of sixsided compartments, or cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs. All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs. During the season when less honey is available and the drone is no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death. 38. Which of the following is the best title for this reading? A. The Many Species of Bees B. The Useless Drone C. The Honeybe- its Characteristics and Usefulness D. Making honey 39.

In what way does the passage imply that bees are useful in nature? A. They pollinate fruit and vegetable plants B. They make marvelous creations from wax C. They kill dangerous drones D.

It is impermeable Natural selection contributes to the basis of Darwi’s Theory of Evolution. One of the core tenets of Darwin’s theory is that more offspring are always produced for species that can possibly survive. Yet, no two offspring are perfectly alike. As a result, through random mutation and genetic drift, over time offspring develop new traits and characteristics. Over time beneficial traits and characteristics that promote survival will be kept in the gene pool while those that harm survival will be selected againts. Therefore, this natural selection ensures that a species gradually improves itself over an extended duration of time. On the other hand, as a species continues to ‘improve’ itself. It branches out to create entirely new species that are no longer capable of reproducing together. 44. According to the paragraph above, what are the cause for species developing new traits and characteristics? A. Medicine and longevity B. Survival and selection C. Mutation and genetic drift D. Tenets and theory 45. The word those in the text refers to: A. Gene pool B. Survival C. Natural selection D. Traits and characteristics
