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

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Children tend to have this behavior when they are learning about the things around them. This is common with children that are younger than seven months. At this age, they may not be able to explore objects with their hands yet, but are rather only able to grab onto items. Since a baby's mouth has more nerve endings than any other part of their bodies, they tend to see what things feel like with their mouths. Babies usually learn through textures.

Hope this helps :)
