Explanation:

According to the story, the reason why the ants haven't succeeded in protecting themselves from predators is their lack of unity. They all work diligently, but each group of ants does so according to their own opinions and ways. Because of that, Anteater, Centipede, and Birds remain undefeated. The Insect-king has tried to warn the ants, teach them about uniting and overcoming their adversities together. That way, they will succeed. However, his message has yet to arrive.

NOTE: Here is the full story

The Lost Message (South African Folk Tale)

THE ant has had from time immemorial many enemies, and because he is small and destructive, there have been a great many slaughters among them. Not only were most of the birds their enemies, but Anteater lived almost wholly from them, and Centipede beset them every time and at all places when he had the chance.

So now there were a few among them who thought it would be well to hold council together and see if they could not come to some arrangement whereby they could retreat to some place of safety when attacked by robber birds and animals.

But at the gathering their opinions were most discordant, and they could come to no decision.

There was Red-ant, Rice-ant, Black-ant, Wagtail-ant, Gray-ant, Shining-ant, and many other varieties. The discussion was a true babel of diversity, which continued for a long time and came to nothing.

A part desired that they should all go into a small hole in the ground, and live there; another part wanted to have a large and strong dwelling built on the ground, where nobody could enter but an ant; still another wanted to dwell in trees, so as to get rid of Anteater, forgetting entirely that there they would be the prey of birds; another part seemed inclined to have wings and fly.

And, as has already been said, this deliberation amounted to nothing, and each party resolved to go to work in its own way, and on its own responsibility.

Greater unity than that which existed in each separate faction could be seen nowhere in the world; each had his appointed task, each did his work regularly and well. And all worked together in the same way. From among them they chose a king-that is to say some of the groups did-and they divided the labor so that all went as smoothly as it possibly could.

But each group did it in its own way, and not one of them thought of protecting themselves against the onslaught of birds or Anteater.

The Red-ants built their house on the ground and lived under it, but Anteater leveled to the ground in a minute what had cost them many days of precious labor. The Rice-ants lived under the ground, and with them it went no better. For whenever they came out, Anteater visited them and took them out sack and pack. The Wagtail-ants fled to the trees, but there on many occasions sat Centipede waiting for them, or the birds gobbled them up. The Gray-ants had intended to save themselves from extermination by taking to flight, but this also availed them nothing, because the Lizard, the Hunting-spider, and the birds went a great deal faster than they.

When the Insect-king heard that they could come to no agreement he sent them the secret of unity, and the message of Work-together. But unfortunately he chose for his messenger the Beetle, and he has never yet arrived at the Ants, so that they are still to-day the embodiment of discord and consequently the prey of enemies.

Read this paragraph.

Income is definitely something to consider when choosing a career. Civil engineers earn a yearly median income of $78,000, while pharmacists earn a yearly median income of approximately $112,000. However, there is more schooling involved with becoming a pharmacist. Pharmacists must earn a four-year professional degree in addition to a bachelor’s degree, and civil engineers need to have only a four-year bachelor’s degree. Because I enjoy school and would like to earn more money, I am leaning more heavily toward becoming a pharmacist.

What does the signal word “while” tell the reader in this paragraph?

Civil engineers and pharmacists have different educational requirements.
Civil engineers and pharmacists earn different yearly salaries.
Civil engineers and pharmacists have the same educational requirements.
Civil engineers and pharmacists earn the same yearly salaries.

One thing that makes the Peachtree Road Race special is that it takes place each year on Independence Day. (1) American flags are waved down Peachtree Street, and nearly everywhere red, white, and blue is seen. Many runners choose to wear stars-and-stripes as a part of their racing outfit, but no one is allowed to wear costumes in this serious race. That means no Statues of Liberty are officially allowed running down the road, as with other large festive races such as the Bay-to-Breakers 12K in San Francisco. (2) Because the Peachtree is run on a holiday, most people have the day off. (3) They either run the race or cheer on the runners from either side of the street. There are tens of thousands of spectators all along the course.

In less than a decade, the growing bicycle craze created one of the largest industries in the country. In 1885, the heyday of the ordinary, there were only six cycle manufacturers in the United States, with a total annual output of 11,000 bicycles. Five years later, with the safety now available, there were 17 manufacturers, and they produced 40,000 bicycles. In 1895, the New York Times reported the existence of 126 manufacturers with an expected annual output of "nearly half a million machines in this country alone." And annual production reached one million bicycles in 1896.
