particular jobs. The most perfectly formed termites, both male and female make up the
reproductive class. They have eyes, hard body walls, and fully developed wings. A pair of
reproductive termites founds the colony. When new reproductive termites develop, they
leave to form another colony. They use their wings only this one time and then break
them off.

Questions 40 to 43
The Verrazano Bridge which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyin to
Starten Island. It has a span of 4260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth
had to be taken into account by its designer. Two great towers support 4 huge cables. The
towers are built on immense under water platforms made of steel and concrete.
The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took 16
months to build. Above the surface of the water , the towers rise to a height of nearly 700
feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four
cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were
packed with cars , it would still only be carrying a third of the total capacity. However,
size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its
immensity, it is both simple and elegant fulfilling its designer's dream to create an
enormous object drawn as family as possible.
