Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Social parasitism involves one species relying on another to raise its young Among vertebrates, the best known social parasites are such birds as cuckoos and cowbirds; the female lays egg in a nest belonging to another species and leaves it for the host to rear
The dulotic species of ants, however, are the supreme social parasites Consider, for
example, the unusual behavior of ants belonging to the genus Polyergus All species of this ant have lost the ability to care for themselves The workers do not forage for food, feed their brood or queen, or
Trang 5even clean their own nest To compensate for these deficits, Polyergus has become specialized at obtaining workers from the related genus Formica to do these chores
In a raid, several thousand Polyergus workers will travel up to 500 feet in search of a Formica
nest, penetrate it, drive off the queen and her workers, capture the pupal brood, and transport it back
to their nest The captured brood is then reared by the resident Formica workers until the developing pupae emerge to add to the Formica population, which maintains the mixed-species nest The Formica
workers forage for food and give it to colony members of both species They also remove wastes and
excavate new chambers as the population increases
The true extent of the Polyergus and dependence on the Formica becomes apparent when the worker population grows too large for existing nest Formica scouts locate a new nesting site, return
to the mixed-species colony, and recruit additional Formica nest mates During a period that may last
seven days, the Formica workers carry to the new nest all the Polyergus eggs, larvae, and pupae, every Polyergus adult, and even the Polyergus queen
Of the approximately 8000 species of ants in the world, all 5 species of Polyergus and some 200 species in other genera have evolved some degree of parasitic relationship with other ants
Question 34: Which of the following statements best represents the main idea of the passage?
A Ants belonging to the genus Formica are incapable of performing certain tasks
B The genus Polyergus is quite similar to the genus Formica
C Ants belonging to the genus Polyergus have an unusual relationship with ants belonging to the genus Formica

C The Polyergus are heavily dependent on the Formica
D The Formica do not reproduce rapidly enough to care for themselves
