Answer 19

Oh, come on. Don't you know what the thorax is? That's the part of the body between the head and the abdomen (your chest is your thorax). Do you know of any insects which have their eyes there, instead of on their head?

Answer 20

A is the correct answer. The compound eyes are very good at detection motion. They do not provide a more detailed image. They are not located on the thorax.

Answer 21

Thanks @whpalmer4 and no I didn't know that. I was just unsure of what that meant so chose that as my answer but I should have looked that up first!

Answer 22

The computer is your friend, make it do your bidding :-). Any time you encounter a word whose meaning you don't know in a question is probably an excellent time to expand your vocabulary, even if only temporarily. Http://dictionary.com is a serviceable dictionary, and the address is easy enough to remember :-)
