Thanks for posting. I hadn't thought of it before.

The quick answer to this is that they gather leaves to make boats. As a science major, I'm a little doubtful this would work. Those ants covered acres and acres and their size though relatively small, were huge compared to other ants. The surface tension of water with a leaf might be enough to accommodate 20 ants, but that was a spit in the bucket.

Further, this implies that the ants were discriminating enough to stop eating the vegetation (which is the central conflict of the story) and decide that they had to forestall their appetite so they had leaves to cross. Even if they were capable of such higher lever mental abilities, there likely were not enough leaves around to accomplish the crossing.

All of that just so I could answer A

1. Engaging in social activities helps to boost their self esteem and interact with others well.
An example from my own experience is when I was in elementary school, I was the best student yes, but to keep up my grades, I had tons of tutors for different subjects so I didn’t really go out much.. after school I go home straight for tutorials.. this affected me when I got to middle school, it was really hard to make friends and to even interact, I became very shy and a complete introvert, I also lost my self esteem.. but later I learned to interact properly by engaging in other social activities..

2. It helps to enhance their communication and listening skills..

Read each sentence and determine whether it is compound, complex, or compound-complex.

topjm [15]

A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined with a conjunction.

Complex sentences must include at least one dependent clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun and an independent clause.

A compound-complex sentence has one complex sentence joined to a simple sentence with a conjunction.

Therefore, the sentence, "because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home." is a complex sentence. This is the correct answer because the dependent clause, "because our favorite restaurant was closed" was introduced by the subordinating conjunction, "because". It also has an independent clause, "we decided to cook dinner at home."
