Read this line from the poem: "The coral never holds quite the pink I hope for and fish continue to catch strange sicknesses like the angel fish, Greta, who has a parasite." What does the word parasite mean? A. Friend B. Bug C. Host D. Fever

OpenStudy (tsukiyama_shuu):

Strange

OpenStudy (tsukiyama_shuu):

It could either be Bug or Fever

OpenStudy (flashp):

I thought it would be Host

OpenStudy (flashp):

One organism is living inside of another organism therefore living off of an host, which they need to survive off of. Now tell me if I'm wrong

OpenStudy (tsukiyama_shuu):

The host is the animal or human that has the parasite. So Greta would have the parasite

OpenStudy (flashp):

Yes and Greta has the parasite as it says, Greta, who has a parasite

OpenStudy (tsukiyama_shuu):

Aye, but the question wasn't what Greta was, it was what the definition of Parasite was, in this case most likely Bug

OpenStudy (flashp):

Okay

OpenStudy (tsukiyama_shuu):

Alrighty
