IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the
bees have made their way from South America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive
in nature, although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated.
The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the
considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported
into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because
their aggression was
considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts in that
they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in inclement
weather than did the European bees.
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have
occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at
all as aggressive as the pure African bee.
They also point out that the attacks have a chemical
cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature. However,
after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the vicera
attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts
other bees. As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus
disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new stings create more of the chemical
isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim. Killer bees
tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the production of
isoamyl acetate.
