Read the text to answer questions no.15 to 18.

         Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20.000 known species of bees in nine recognized famillies though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antartica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

         Bees have a long proboscis ( a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.

          The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Nothern Hemisphere, though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

Terjemahan: 

         Lebah adalah serangga yang terbang berkaitan erat dengan tawon dan semut, dan dikenal karena peran mereka (lebah) dalam penyerbukan dan memproduksi madu dan lilin lebah. Ada hampir 20.000 spesies lebah pada sembilan golongan yang dikenal, namun banyak yang belum terdeskripsikan dan jumlah sebenarnya mungkin lebih banyak. Mereka (lebah) ditemukan di setiap benua kecuali Antartika, di setiap habitat di planet yang berisi tanaman berbunga yang diserbukkan serangga.
         Lebah memiliki belalai (antenna) panjang (a "lidah" yang rumit) yang memungkinkan mereka untuk memperoleh nektar dari bunga. Mereka memiliki antena hampir secara universal terdiri dari 13 segmen pada  jantan dan 12 pada betina, seperti yang khas untuk keluarga super. Semua lebah memiliki dua pasang sayap, pasangan belakang lebih kecil, dalam beberapa spesies, satu jenis kelamin atau kasta memiliki sayap pendek  secara relatif yang membuat sulit atau tidak mungkin terbang, tetapi tidak ada yang tak bersayap.
          Lebah terkecil adalah Trigona minima, lebah pekerja yang tak memiliki sengat,  kira-kiara 2.1 mm (5 / 64") panjangnya, lebah terbesar di dunia adalah Megachile pluto, seekor lebah betina leafcutter (pemotong daun) dapat mencapai panjang 39 mm (1.5 ") . anggota golongan Halictidae, atau lebah keringat, adalah jenis lebah yang paling umum di belahan bumi utara, walaupun mereka (lebah) itu kecil dan sering dikira tawon atau lalat.

      a. by using their antennae
      b. by using their pair of wings
      c. by using their short proboscis
      d. by using their complex tongue
