Answer:

What the author is implying by the allusion to Albert Einstein is:

A. Like Einstein, bees are intelligent and can perform intellectual tasks.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the very beginning of the passage:

<em>they are easy to breed and are considered the “Einstein” of the insect world. These striped geniuses perform intellectual feats that cannot be taken for granted, even among mammals.</em>

<u>The lines above already tell us what we need to know. The allusion to Einstein was used as a way to say that bees are intelligent creatures. That is how allusions work. An author alludes to something or someone widely known so as to bring something to readers' minds. In this case, everyone who has ever heard of Einstein associates his name with intelligence</u>. After the allusion, the author proceeds to list some of the amazing tasks and abilities bees have. Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the best choice: Like Einstein, bees are intelligent and can perform intellectual tasks.

Write a summary of DARK THEY WERE From paragraph 267 -283 250 words
Evgesh-ka [11]

"Dark They Were" is a short story written by Ray Bradbury. In this story we are introduced to a group of Americans who were selected to be sent to Mars and colonize the planet, while the USA is participating in a war. These Americans then store seeds, food, water, clothing, and other elements that will allow them to establish the colony on Mars.

The Bittering family was selected to be one of the settlers of Mars and soon after arriving they start to plant agricultural crops in the soil of Mars, as well as the other families. However, crops begin to behave strangely and do not look like the food on earth. Animals also begin to undergo strange mutations and even people begin to have their bodies modified, losing their human appearance and looking more like a Martian. Even the Bittering family goes through these mutations.

The colony completely loses contact with the American government and is unable to get help for their problems. However, at the moment when American astronauts manage to reestablish this contact and go to the Martian colony to check on how the colonists are doing, they do not find any human being, just a group of strange-looking but sympathetic aliens who speak English in an admirable way.
