Why has the author chosen to include the word metamorphosis in the text? Use two details to support your answer. i will put the

text also it is a paragraph
Named for the biblical giant Goliath, the Goliath beetle is the most colossal, brawniest, and heftiest kind of beetle in the world. Goliath beetles grow to a length of up to eight inches and may weigh as much as three and a half ounces. Most Goliath beetles are as large as a mouse. They have distinct vertical black bands, like the bars of a prison door, on the elytron that cover their wings. Some species may also have bright yellow, red, gray, or brown markings.

2 The Goliath beetle lives in flowers in the tropical rain forests of Africa. Goliath beetles have fearsome jaws that they use to slash, impale, and chomp food. Adult beetles primarily feed on sugary tree sap and fruit. Goliath beetles also have six powerful legs with sharp claws that can grip. The Goliath beetle uses its claws to gather food and to climb. In addition, the Goliath beetle has a pair of front and a pair of rear wings attached to its thorax. When it flies, it sounds like the whirl of a helicopter propeller.

3 Like other kinds of beetles, the Goliath beetle undergoes a metamorphosis—a four-stage process of change. This process takes place as the beetle develops. During the first stage, a female Goliath beetle lays its eggs in rotting wood or decaying plants. Once an egg hatches, the wormlike larva feeds on the wood or plant material until it is fully grown. The larva wraps itself in a cocoon like a suit of armor to protect itself. Then the pupa lives in the cocoon during the third stage. After several months, the cocoon breaks apart. An adult Goliath beetle steps forth to find a mate, and the four steps in the life cycle of a Goliath beetle are repeated.

4 Goliath beetles are truly the giants of the insect world, and their formidable presence leaves a lasting impression on those who view them.

When the word, "metamorphosis," is used, it refers to a complete change in an organism. The author used the word "metamorphosis," to depict how thorough the change in the Goliath beetle is.

Answer:

The author uses the word "metamorphosis" to describe the "four-stage process of change." They are introducing new vocabulary terms in a friendly context. They also may have included it because it's the most accurate scientific term for the process of growth undergone by the beetle.

IgorLugansk [536]

The viewpoint gathered from the passage is:

Sarah’s determination to hide with her brother rather than wait for the Germans is admirable.

Explanation:

Sarah begins the passage by wondering if the brother is going to sit there and let the Germans take him away and then says that surely she would not let that happen.

This is the line that sets up the passage for what is to be narrated for the whole passage which is her plans and her determination to save her brother from sure death in the German death camps.

It is her foresight that has allowed her to understand what is going to happen and she willingly takes steps to avoid it.

Some scholars say that the highest value in Western civilization today is promoting the many-sided creativity of each individual
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

From my perspective I do not agree with it. I believe that there should be a balance in both to be the complete highest value. Concerning with creativity, we should encourage and promote people to develop their creative side. Imagination is beyond our knowledge and if people work on it, we could see amazing progress with their new projects. But if we only focus on the creative side, then people could be all over the place not knowing where they want to go or sometimes to do. Concerning with specialization, it is very important that if someone is good at some specific work, she/he should specialize in it to be the best at it. But not all work should be in a linear way. People should be able to explore other things but still focus on their job. In conclusion, I believe that the best option should be a combination of both; people should specialize at the work they are the best at and should be able to explore and promote their creativity through it.
