HELP ASAP Insects
By midsummer, biting insects like mosquitoes and fleas are out in full force in most parts of the United States. Unless you plan to stay inside, you will likely head to the store to load up on bug repellents. An excellent natural alternative to chemical bug repellents is the use of essential oils. Such oils, taken from natural substances, have been used for centuries for this purpose.

Essential oils repel insects because they block their sense of smell, fooling them into thinking they should go elsewhere for their meal. For example, to get rid of ants around the house, put drops of peppermint oil across the ant paths. This confuses the insects' scent trails and makes it impossible for them to find food. Similarly, you can confuse biting insects by wearing essential oils on your skin that do not allow them to sniff you out.

Oils that are strong smelling work best as bug repellents. Some of the most effective are peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender. Applying a watered-down essential oil to the warmest exposed areas of your skin (backs of the knees, behind the ears, etc.) will discourage bugs from using your skin as a landing strip. However, make sure not to use sweet-smelling or perfume-like oils.

The “big dig” the “big dig” (the central artery/tunnel project) has been complex and challenging. located in boston, massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. what is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in boston’s financial district. construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. these machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in. one problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath boston is extremely loose and soggy. engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. to strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to with the consolidation of the soil. 23 which phrase best defines the word excavator as used in the passage? a. a device used to measure underground temperatures b. a device used to level uneven surfaces c. a device used to move heavy objects d. a device used to dig holes
