In an alarming piece of news, it seems the bee population in the United States is taking a dive. CNN reported on February 12, 20

07, that beekeepers in 22 states have claimed as much as an 80 percent loss of their bee colonies. Jerry Bromenshenk is the head of Bee Alert Technology, a business that is keeping a close watch on this problem. He reported to CNN that this is a severe and potentially devastating loss. If this continues, beekeepers will not have enough bees to rent to farmers to pollinate their crops. No one knows exactly why the bees are gone. One bee researcher at the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that parasitic mites and a lack of nectar in pollen may have done them in. Other researchers have different theories. Although the mystery has not been solved, there is some reason to hope. The January 2006 issue of Science News reported that scientists are studying species of solitary, or loner, bees. They are hoping to use them to replace the bees that have been lost.
Which sentence could be added to the first paragraph to support the main idea? A. Some of the more harmful pesticides have already been banned in Europe. B. A beekeeper keeps bees to collect honey and beeswax or pollinate crops. C. In the United States, the most common bee raised is the Western honey bee. D. Farmers could stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Answer:

Culture.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the rest of the question:

Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.”

<em>Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps. She had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her. She was thin without the taut look of wiry people, and her printed voile dresses and flowered hats were as right for her as denim overalls for a farmer. She was our side's answer to the richest white woman in town.</em>

The passage above describes how Marguerite thinks of Mrs. Bertha Flowers. We learn of this opinion based on the things that Marguerite chooses to highlight about Mrs. Flowers. Marguerite describes how Mrs. Flowers was an sort of "aristocrat," which implies a cultured woman. She also talks about Mrs. Flowers in ways that suggest grace and elegance. This implies that Marguerite cares about culture.

What is the purpose of the words “hour” and “spring”?
alekssr [168]
"You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once.
The purpose of the words "hour" and "spring" is:
A) Most of the sentences contain comma splices.
A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. The comma is followed by a conjunction.
Two independent clauses:
1) You ought not to think an hour upon the matter.
2) You ought to spring to action at once.
conjunction used is BUT.
