Explanation:
The correct answer is:
B. A species of wasp that eats caterpillars is killed off.
Explanation:
Top of the Food Chain by T.C. Boyle is a story about human mistakes, written in a satirical tone to excuse the mistakes made.
Top of the Food Chain contains a series of events that happened after spraying an unsafe chemical called DDT to get rid of mosquitoes in Borneo. After the spray got rid of the mosquitoes it also killed a wasp that used to get rid off the caterpillars, the excess of caterpillars then caused the roofs to collapse, and they replaced it with tin. Then they ended with the flies, and the geckos ate them so they died and the cats ate the geckos, and got infected, and the people in the town were devastated because the cats were their pets, with the cats gone the rats went out of control and they flew cats from Australia to control the rat population and to keep the people happy.
Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).
