In species such as the red-back spider, the black widow spider, the praying mantis, and the scorpion, the female commonly eats the male after mating. Another widespread form of cannibalism is size-structured cannibalism, in which large individuals consume smaller ones. Octopus, bats, toads, fish, monitor lizards, salamanders, crocodiles, spiders, crustaceans, birds, mammals, and a vast number of insects have all been observed to engage in size-structured cannibalism. Yet another common form of cannibalism is infanticide. Classic examples include the chimpanzees, where groups of adult males have been observed to attack and consume their infants; and lions, where adult males commonly kill infants when they take over a new harem after replacing the previous dominant males. Also, gerbils and hamsters eat their young if they are stillborn, or if the mothers are especially stressed.

Choose the sentence that best expresses the implied main idea of the paragraph below. Almost two thousand years ago, when Julius Caesar landed on the island we now know as Britain, the English language did not exist. Five hundred years later, a form of English called Old English (which was so different from modern English that you and I couldn’t even understand it) had emerged, and was spoken by only a few thousand people. By the late sixteenth century, when William Shakespeare was writing his greatest plays, English was the native language of five to seven million British people, but was not yet used anywhere outside of Britain itself. In the four hundred years since then, English-speakers such as the Scottish, the Irish, the Americans, and many others have carried their language and culture to all parts of the globe, and English has become the most widely spoken, written, and far-reaching language in human history. Today English is used by roughly a billion people, more than half of whom have learned it as a second language. It has become a global language of business as well as technology, appearing in 75 percent of the world’s mail and 80 percent of the information stored in the world’s computers.
