A new queen is created by

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the following question:

Honeybees live in colonies with one queen running the whole hive. Worker honeybees are all females and are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside of the hive. They forage for food, build the honeycombs, and protect the hive. Honeybees are important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. They live on stored honey and pollen all winter and cluster into a ball to conserve warmth. All honeybees are social and cooperative insects. The queen's job is simple - she lays the eggs that will spawn the hive's next generation of bees. There is usually a single queen in a hive. If the queen dies, workers will create a new queen by feeding one of the worker females a special food called "royal jelly." This elixir enables the worker to develop into a fertile queen.

What was the top speed of the car built by Nicolas - Joseph Cugnot?

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the following question:

People had been thinking about cars since the Renaissance age. An Italian named Guido da Vigevano recorded plans for a wind-propelled vehicle in 1335; but, the first real car was built in 1769 by a French inventor named Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. The "car" was actually a three-wheeled tractor that could only go 2 miles per hour, which is slower than the regular walking speed of a person! Because of this, inventors like Karl Benz got to work. Benz was a German inventor who came up with the first patent for a gasoline - powered motorcar in 1886, and he began selling his cars in 1888. It was another German who created the four-stroke engine we see in most cars. Nikolaus Otto invented his engine in 1876, and because it was the first practical gas-powered engine, it made a huge impact on the way cars worked.
