Language Test :
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
In the tropical rainforests of Central and South America lives a species of ants that could be the smallest recyclers on earth. They are Leaf Cutter Ants. These ants travel through the forest looking for leaves, which they cut with their sharp jaws. They put the leaves on their backs and return to their underground burrows, where they chew them into a pulp.

The pulp is integrated into a fungus garden. The fungus provides the ants with their food and their living space. The leaf cutter ants live in a highly organized and efficient society with as many as five to ten million ants, and up to seven different categories of work. The queen is the largest, over an inch long, and her only job is to lay eggs. The male ants are small, have wings  and fly from the colony to mate with a queen and then die soon afterwards.

The soldiers protect the colony and defend the lines of the ants who are out collecting leaves. Worker ants belong in several different job categories: some collect the leaves, some tend the eggs, others feed the colony, and some even have adapted elaborate behaviours for taking care of the fungus crop by grooming, cleaning, and pruning it. A specialized group of ants are the trash workers, who carry out the old garden material and dispose of it in specific refuse dumps
