<p>“I don’t think you guys get that the part where he eats the insect is humorous. It’s not meant to be a scientific thing, it’s just meant to point out something silly a scientist did in the name of science. That’s all. No reason to overthink it.”</p>
<p>And how is that indicative that the answer was a new, unorthodox, SCIENTIFIC method? Seems like you contradicted yourself.</p>
<p>This wasn’t on the test, but in the actual article for which the link was posted, in the paragraph following the one where it says the guy ate the grasshopper, another guy says it’s a clever experiment, kind of supporting the answer about unorthodox methods being able to make scientific progress.</p>
<p>Now we need to find the Hawaii passage. I’ll search if you guys give me some key words…I have king, casket, wharf, San Francisco, Nani…</p>
<p>Well, I think eating an insect to test for poison is a pretty unorthodox scientific method of getting your answer.</p>
<p>I was looking in the wrong place.</p>
<p>"Dr. Jim Mallet, an evolutionary biologist at University College London, called the research ‘‘quite clever,’’ saying, ‘‘It makes evolutionary sense and it is a very neat set of experiments.’’</p>
<p>As much as I hate to admit it, I probably got a 35 or so now. The unorthodox answer is right.</p>
<p>^exactly, I knew there was something similar to this in the passage.</p>
<p>Dr. Jim Mallet, an evolutionary biologist at University College London, called the research ‘‘quite clever,’’ saying, ‘‘It makes evolutionary sense and it is a very neat set of experiments.’’ </p>
<p>Not related to Dr. Sword’s eating of the grasshopper. Dr. Jim Mallet is talking about how Sword found out that growing grasshoppers alone and in groups produce different colors and toxicities. Read the preceding paragraphs.</p>
<p>What about the question " What is the first paragraph about?" I put biologists testing evolved theory or something. What did you guys put for what makes the animals toxic, was the answer to that what they eat?</p>
<p>^^nope 10char</p>
<p>The first paragraph was about the question on the evolution of poisonous species or something</p>
<p>yea that’s what i meant^</p>
<p>Yes it was… Insects that are in large groups eat skunk weed, which makes them poisonous. If they are alone, they do not eat skunk weed. Their diet makes them poisonous. </p>
<p>Lizards that were fed the grasshoppers raised on Skunk
the field, he found large numbers of yellow and black grasshoppers all feeding on one particular toxic plant species known as Skunk Bush.
However, when the grasshoppers grow up in a large group eating a plant that makes them toxic to their predators,</p>
<p>Yep, their diet makes them poisonous.</p>
<p>what was the one that asked what nani most likely did in lines 31-35?</p>
<p>I think the answer was that she most likely traveled with the king, if that’s the question your asking
The passage stated that she wouldn’t be returning/traveling with the king as she had many times before</p>
<p>She said she had traveled with the king many times before… there was something in the sentence that made me know she had traveled with him many times before… I know the sentence had “yet” in it.</p>
<p>I agree with LookingUp8</p>
<p>Also agree with LookingUp8</p>
<p>yes, she traveled with the king many times before</p>
<p>what was the answer to the first question of the grasshopper passage? it asked about like how the passage could be described…</p>
