21 students marked "I sat this"Added 20 Mar 2020Question #100043
Put the paragraphs in order.
- AAnd it is a lesson to us that no one has ever yet seen quarrel between any two ants belonging to the same community.
- BHowever, they are in hostility not only with most other insects, including ants of different species, but even with those of the same species if belonging to different communities.
- CThe communities of ants are sometimes very large, numbering even to 500,000 individuals.
- DIt is evident, therefore, that the ants of each community all recognize one another, which is very remarkable.
- EI have over and over again introduced ants from one my nets into another nest of the same species; and they were invariably attacked, seized by a leg or an antenna, and dragged out.
