The two statements below are stating the same general idea about the crisis of disappearing bees and the effect on food.


Statement 1: At issue are the disappearing bee colonies in the United States, a situation that continues to mystify scientists and frighten food makers.That's because, according to Haagen-Dazs, one-third of the U.S. food supply - including a variety of fruits, vegetables and even nuts - depends on pollination from bees.

Statement 2: Without this army of migrant pollinators paying a visit for three weeks every year, the trees would fail to bear the almonds that are California's most valuable horticultural export. Last year, they earned the state more than $1.9bn, double the revenue from its Napa Valley vineyards. Moreover, 80% of the world's almonds now come from this pocket of the planet. But the supply of almonds in confectionery, cakes and packets of nuts is now threatened by a mysterious malady that is causing honeybees to disappear.

Lucy
By William Wordsmith
She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove;
A maid whom there were none to praise, And very few to love.
A violet by a mossy stone 5 Half-hidden from the eye!
--Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be; 10
But she is in her grave, and, O! The difference to me!
At the end of the poem, the speaker expresses a feeling of-
a. Indifference
b. Excitement
c. Grief
d. Ignorance

Which statement best describes the argument Dr. King makes in his "I Have a Dream" speech?

Members of the civil rights movement must use all means necessary to bring about change. America has failed to recognize peaceful protests.

Federal authorities should enforce federal laws in all states, including Southern states. This is a step toward gradual equality that is the goal for America.


African Americans suffer discrimination and continue to be denied equal rights. America has not lived up to its founding ideals.

Voting rights should be targeted for reform. Only with full voting rights will America be a true representative democracy.

Does success always mean coming in first? No. Success can mean working collaboratively and becoming a team."

What does the phrase “the rose that grew from concrete” mean figuratively as used in this poem?

Poem:
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s laws wrong it
learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
