<span>The word BSE is short but it stands for a disease with a long name, bovine spongiform encephalopathy.  "Bovine" means that the disease affects cows, "spongiform" refers to the way the brain from a sick cow looks spongy under a microscope, and "encephalopathy" indicates that it is a disease of the brain. BSE is commonly called “mad cow disease.”</span>

Answer: The main problem stated in this excerpt is the existence of the disease called BSE, which affects humans but also cows.

Explanation: <u>BSE is an acronym for the disease Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy</u>, which is also known as the mad cow disease. <u>BSE causes problems in the functioning of neurons and brain in general</u> and, as the text states, it affects both humans and cows. <u>It is classified as a neurodegenerative disease that can lead to death</u>. Moreover, one of its symptoms is loss of coordination. For that reason, cows who are sick cannot hold their heads up.

What does "put on her carmine suit" most likely mean?
Sedbober [7]
The red tulip opened its petals. This is because in the poem it refers to a tulip. Put on her carmine suit most likely means the tulip blooms and turns from a green bud into a red flower.
