You can use the clues "It only gets worse" and "the purpose of holidays" to infer the definition of the word. 

Also, the prefix "de" means "do the opposite of", and "construct" means, to put something together, or build it up. 

So you can infer that "deconstruct" means to take apart or break. 



Hope this wasn't too confusing, comment the correct answer.

lana [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This question is incomplete because it does not attach the excerpts. You forgot to attach the text titled "Amazing Plants" and the text title "Trapped by a Predator."

Without the texts, we cannot read what is the content.

However, trying to help you we did some deep research and can comment on the following.

The information that the reader learns from "Amazing Plants" that is missing in "Trapped by a Predator" is a description of the pitcher plant.

In the excerpt "Amazing Plants,<em>"the author refers to the pitcher plan as follows: Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents."</em>

In the excerpt "Trapped by a Predator," the author focuses more on his personal experience of how he became interested in Botanics and plants when as a child he was on a trip to Willington. North Carolina.

Why might mind-reading lead to miscommunications?
DaniilM [7]
If you spend to much time trying to think about what other people are thinking whether it’s about you or something else it can lead to missed assumptions. When you assume too often without knowing if something is true or not it can often mess up your brain and lead to failure to communicate (miscommunications)! For example if you thought (or assumed) your best friend didn’t want to be your friend anymore you wouldn’t want to talk to her/him: miscommunication. Sorry if I’m wrong
