Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
So bees are just wasps that have forgotten how to hunt. But the main difference between A B and A wasp in terms of their morphology is that wasps tend to have this very constricted Wasp waist. Some some wasps, I like to refer to them as a kind of like the supermodels of the insect well, because they've got this extraordinarily long, thin waist, whereas bees tend to be a bit stumped here a bit fatter and more rotund. The other way to spot Teller was from a bee is that bees tend to be a bit hairier. The main characteristic is has it got this kind of Wasp waist.
Yeah, and in fact, there are some bees that look a bit very much like wasps. In fact, this time of year, in the spring, early spring in the UK, you'll see lots of insects appearing and some of those some of those bees actually there's hardly any wasps around at the moment, but there are some bees that look just like wasps. They're no milder bees and they've got the yellow and black stripes they're actually look completely hairless. They've even got a slightly constricted way. So to all intents and purposes, they look like a wasp.

What do nomad bees have in common with wasps in terms of appearance?

Option 2: "They have yellow and black stripes and look hairless."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text explicitly states that some bees, including nomad bees, have yellow and black stripes and appear hairless. This directly aligns with the description provided in the text, making it the accurate choice.

Option 1: "They have a hairy body like wasps."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that bees tend to be hairier than wasps, not that they share this characteristic. The text specifically mentions that some bees, including nomad bees, look hairless, which contradicts the claim in this option.

Option 3: "They have a rotund body like wasps."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text describes bees as being fatter and more rotund compared to wasps, which have a constricted waist. Therefore, stating that nomad bees have a rotund body like wasps is misleading and contradicts the text.

Option 4: "They have more species than wasps."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not provide any information regarding the number of species of bees compared to wasps. It focuses solely on their physical appearance and characteristics, making this statement unsupported by the text.
