Paragraphs 4-5 contribute to the development of ideas in the text because they explain how the gene drive changes mosquitoes’ DNA, as stated in option B.
<h3>What are paragraphs 4-5 about?</h3>
After reading paragraphs 4-5 of the text "Gene editing wiped out a population of mosquitoes in lab tests," we can tell they contribute the development of ideas by explaining how the gene drive works.
According to the information in paragraphs 4-5, the gene drive is used to change mosquitoes' DNA so that the female mosquito will not bite or procreate. By doing so, scientists would help prevent the spread of malaria, since it is through biting that the female mosquito transmits the disease.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
The missing paragraphs 4-5 are the following:
The researchers changed the mosquitoes’ genes with a gene drive. Gene drives use the molecular “scissors” known as CRISPR/Cas9 to copy and paste themselves into an organism’s DNA at precise locations. They’re designed to break the rules of inheritance. They can quickly spread a genetic tweak to all offspring.
The new gene drive breaks a mosquito gene called doubles∈x. Female mosquitoes that inherit two copies of the broken gene develop like males. They are unable to bite or lay eggs. Being unable to bite means they can’t spread the malaria parasite. Males and females that inherit only one copy of the disrupted gene develop normally and are fertile. Males don’t bite, whether they have the gene drive or not.

He asked me <u>if I was hungry</u>.

Explanation:
Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person had told us. This retelling or exchange of information to a third party is given in the reporter form, or in the indirect speech.
The verbs and tenses in the reported speech will be changed according to the tenses in the first speech. So, supposing the initial sentence is in the simple present tense, then the reported speech will be in the simple past tense. Likewise, if the original speech is in the present perfect, then the reporting speech will be in the past perfect tense.

Explanation:
Imagery is a method, or should we say a literary device, that uses figurative language filled with descriptions in order to help us create mental images of the text. It helps us, not just to read the text, but to experience it with all our senses. Imagery vividly describes how something looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like or smells like (uses our senses to describe something).
So, knowing this, best fitting answers would be:
- he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth
- the Moon rose big and full over the water
