There is a natural tendency to confuse change with progress. This is perfectly understandable, especially considering that we went from inventing electricity to perfecting aviation to reaching the moon all in a time analogous to just a blink in the grand scheme of human history. Such prodigious leaps have left us hungry for more leaps, and there are benefits to restlessness, even if entropic; __________

Many parents, as they lovingly tuck their children into bed, repeat a short rhyme that has been around for centuries: night-night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite! This phrase refers to a time when even the wealthy had to deal with the constant scourge of bedbugs and other pests that preyed on sleeping humans. With the advent of modern pesticides, bedbugs were, for a time, largely an issue of the past. However, in the past few years they have come back with a vengeance, __________

Our nation’s heroes are not the only ones who may experience the detrimental effects of fireworks. Furry companions also can be frightened by the loud blasts above for nights on end.

Since the transition from alkylation to acylation for benzene reactions, chemists’ abilities to safely modify benzene have expanded exponentially. What seemed revolutionary in the late 1800s is now part of undergraduate organic chemistry experiments in courses throughout universities worldwide. Benzene is no longer solely thought of as a carcinogenic and volatile compound. It now used in a variety of products including plastics, drugs, pesticides, detergents, etc. Its importance to modern chemistry, materials science and pharmaceuticals is therefore __________

Varroa mites are an issue for bee colonies for several reasons. The primary issue is that they attach themselves to the bodies of worker bees and feed on them. This can affect a bee’s immune system, ability to flush out pesticides, and regulation of hormones. When the mite abandons the bee for a fresh host, it leaves behind an open wound which often leads to infection by one of the many bee viruses that the mites carry. The overall effect is that the bees are much weaker when mites are present. This weakness means that worker bees __________
