Answer:

The correct answer is D. Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons

Explanation:

In argumentative texts such as essays in which the main purpose of the author is to prove his/her position about an issue, the thesis statement or claim is the statement that summarizes the main point of the essay or the position the author has towards an issue or event. This means, the thesis goes beyond a fact or simple opinion and expresses an idea the author will prove.

According to this, in the introduction paragraph included the thesis is "Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons" because in this sentence the author expresses his opinion toward Africanized honeybees that according to him are legitimately scary and this is the main point he will prove during the essay. Also, other sentences just provide information or facts about these bees but not the position of the author.

The following question refers to Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. Which sentence describes the culture group interaction be

astraxan [27]

It is possible to argue that the sentence that best describes the culture group interactions between Gulliver and the Brobdingnagians is that they are kind to Gulliver but do not treat him as an equal. Despite the fact that he was taught their language by a nine years old girl - Glumdalclitch - who stood ¬not above 40 feet tall, being small for her age" his conversations with the King proves that the Brobdingnagians consider humans in general as below themselves, the King consider the English particularly "the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth". The king also scalds Gulliver when he tries to o interest the statesman in the use of gunpowder.

They find human institutions way below their own and they do not favour too much interaction or contact with humans, their laws are simple and straightforward, contrary to most human institutions; they value reason over emotions and it can be said that they are a race of mathematicians, being also profoundly interested in poetry and literature.
