In an alarming piece of news, it seems the bee population in the United States is taking a dive. CNN reported on February 12, 2007, that beekeepers in 22 states have claimed as much as an 80 percent loss of their bee colonies. Jerry Bromenshenk is the head of Bee Alert Technology, a business that is keeping a close watch on this problem. He reported to CNN that this is a severe and potentially devastating loss. If this continues, beekeepers will not have enough bees to rent to farmers to pollinate their crops. No one knows exactly why the bees are gone. One bee researcher at the U. S. Department of Agriculture says that parasitic mites and a lack of nectar in pollen may have done them in. Other researchers have different theories. Although the mystery has not been solved, there is some reason to hope. The January 2006 issue of Science News reported that scientists are studying species of solitary, or loner, bees. They are hoping to use them to replace the bees that have been lost.
Which sentence could be added to the first paragraph to support the main idea? A. Some of the more harmful pesticides have already been banned in Europe. B. A beekeeper keeps bees to collect honey and beeswax or pollinate crops. C. In the United States, the most common bee raised is the Western honey bee. D. Farmers could stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )
