C.
The bee is similar to a snake, where both are underestimated for their ability to strike when it is least expected.
D.
The bee is cruel and unfair for attacking him for no apparent reason other than laying his head on a bed of roses.
Poem:
Cupid, once upon a bed,
Of roses laid his weary head;
Luckless urchin, not to see,
Within the leaves, a slumbering bee.
The bee awak'd, with anger wild,
The bee awak'd, and stung the child.
Loud and piteous his cries,
"Oh, Mother! I am wounded through,
Stung by some little angry thing that flew,
Like a mean serpent on a tiny wing,
An ugly bee it was, for once, I know it was so."
Then she said, "My infant, if so much
Thou feel the little wild bee's touch,
How must the heart, ah, Cupid! be,
The hapless heart that's stung by thee!"

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because bees aren't as they will sting you as quicker than you spot them with no hesitation at all

The bee is not as small and innocent as it appears, but rather, it is sneaky and with ill intent like a snake does Cupid mean when he says that the bee is "like a mean serpent on a tiny wing". Hence, option A is correct.

In Latin poetry, Cupid is referred to as Amor and is the ancient Roman god of all forms of love. He is Eros's opposite in Greek mythology. According to myth, Cupid was the progeny of Venus, the goddess of love, and Mercury, the gods' eagle-borne messenger.

He was the son of Aphrodite and was known as Eros in Greek mythology. According to Roman legend, Cupid was envious of Psyche's beauty, but he nevertheless fell deeply in love with her. He married her and instructed her to avoid his gaze at all costs. He only paid her visits at night.

In Roman mythology, Cupid is the deity of desire, sensual love, attraction, and affection.

Thus, option A is correct.

James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.
"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."
"And I'm sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."
James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.
Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.
"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.
It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.
James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.
Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.
It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.
"What is that?" James whispered.
Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:


1- In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.

2- Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.

3- Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.

4- Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph three, the second body paragraph?

Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars.
It is about action and contributing to the common good.
Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community.
The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat.
