BEIJING — The microblog account of an outspoken property tycoon and critic of President Xi Jinping, which had nearly 38 million followers, was deleted by China’s Internet control bureau on Sunday.

An official statement said that the tycoon, Ren Zhiqiang, had exerted a “vile” influence on the country by spreading illegal information on the website, which was on the Sina Weibo platform.

Mr. Ren, a member of the Communist Party, had recently posted statements questioning a new policy on news media control announced by Mr. Xi on Feb. 19. The president visited the three main party and state media organizations that day and said that all Chinese news media had to serve the party. No Chinese leader since Mao Zedong had suggested so explicitly that spreading official propaganda should be the media’s top priority.

Mr. Ren said in his posts that the news media should serve the people, not the party. Those posts were quickly deleted, and a website managed by the propaganda unit of the Beijing municipal party committee then attacked Mr. Ren on Feb. 22, saying he was acting against the party.

Mr. Ren has long had a reputation for posting controversial messages online. That earned him the nickname the Cannon. In 2011, he stepped down as president of Beijing Huayuan Group, a property company, but he remained president of a publicly listed subsidiary until 2014. One official news report estimated his net worth in 2009 at around $22 million.

The Internet control bureau, the Cyberspace Administration of China, took the rare step on Sunday of publishing a long statement explaining why it had deleted Mr. Ren’s account. The bureau is led by Lu Wei, a party and government official who traveled with Mr. Xi to the United States in September to meet with top executives of American technology companies. He is in charge of ensuring that foreign technology companies in China abide by strict rules laid down by the party and the state.

The statement on Sunday, attributed to Jiang Jun, a spokesman for the bureau, said, “Internet users have reported that Ren Zhiqiang’s account had been continuously publishing illegal information, and the impact was vile.” It added that “Internet celebrities” and influential microblog personalities, known as Big Vs, “must correctly use their influence, exemplify obedience to laws and regulations, shoulder social responsibility and actively spread positive energy.”

Mr. Jiang said the “cyberspace administration will increase the intensity of enforcing Internet content laws, and asks for all online platforms to refuse to provide channels for illegal speech.”

The authority did not specify why Mr. Ren’s posts were illegal or which of them had violated the law. Mr. Ren could not be reached for comment.

In recent years, the party has been cracking down on writings by Big Vs, people who, like Mr. Ren, are labeled “verified users” by Internet companies and have millions of online followers, to ensure that they toe the party line. A signal moment in that campaign came in 2013, when the police arrested Charles Xue, a Chinese-American businessman with 12 million microblog followers, and paraded him on state television, saying he had solicited prostitutes.

The authorities have clamped down on Internet speech in other ways. In 2013, the nation’s top legal authorities said the criminal charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” could be applied to online writings.

Officials have also charged more Internet users with “spreading rumors,” including in cases where writers had been discussing the recent economic downturn and stock market turmoil.

OUTER RING ROAD is a long Ring Road being constructed around the South Indian City of Erode in Tamil Nadu. It also acts as an easy roadway for connecting Namakkal district with Erode.

The state Government of Tamil Nadu has sanctioned the project in 2006, with a funding of 85 crore, with a land acquisition of 180acres. Among which, 30 crore will be given as compensation for 120 acres of private patta land.[1]

Traffic in the City

Erode city, being the district headquarters and a major marketing hub in the region, has an extensive network of radial roads originating from core city and the growth of the city is along these transport corridors. This results in the rapid increase in traffic congestion inside the core city. Also, the number of trucks entering the city is significantly high. The narrow and congested city roads does not cater to the increasing traffic needs.[2] This paved the need for developing better road infrastructure for vehicles travelling across Erode.[3]

[Schematic representation of Road network in the city of Erode]

The four-laned National Highway 544 connecting Salem with Cochin has been strategically planned and constructed along the western periphery of the city through Lakshmi Nagar, Chithode, Gangapuram and Nasiyanur areas to reach Perundurai, is a natural bypass for Erode in the west.[4] Due to the presence of this highway, the growth pattern of the city is in North-west direction.[5] Vehicles from Erode city can access this highway through the arterial roads like Sathy road, Bhavani road, Nasiyanur road and Perundurai Road. But still the traffic due to the vehicles flowing from South and East of the City makes traffic worse. So, the demand raised for the construction of Outer Ring Road for the city.

Ring formation around the city

[National Highway 544 Bypass near Chithode] The ring road around the city would be made by connecting the new ring road in south with the NH 544 bypass near Gangapuram,[6] which further connects Chithode, Bhavani and to Komarapalayam in Namakkal district. The road is expected to divert around 2200 trucks and buses away from the city roads.[7] This stretch linking Kokkarayanpet with Bhavani will make a semi-circular ring around the city.

Also, the access to the fast growing urban nodes located in the eastern side of River Kaveri like Pallipalayam, Sankagiri and Tiruchengode is limited with a single Cauvery Bridge. The Comprehensive Mobility Plan submitted by Erode Municipal Corporation suggests networking of road to these areas for better transit.[8] With the networking of these eastern areas, the ring formation would be made complete.

Phases of construction

Erode Ring Road project is being executed in two sectors.

Part-I

This southern section of the Outer Ring road starts from Kokkarayanpet in Namakkal district and ends near Nanjanapuram beyond Thindal along Perundurai Road in Erode. The road is laid for a width of 7 meters (2 lane road) with a provision of expansion for up to 30 meters. This stretch is constructed in three phases

-   Phase-I: The first phase starts at Kokkarayanpet in the east and ends near Lakkapuram along SH 84. This phase of the road has been constructed at a cost of 12 crore. This stretch includes a high-level bridge across Kaveri River and a level-crossing on Erode-Tiruchirappalli line.
-   Phase-II: The second phase of the road connects SH 84 with Anaikkalpalayam on SH 83A through 46 Pudur. This part of the road constructed at a cost of 25 crore, intersects NH-381A near Lakkapuram.
-   Phase-III: The third phase of the road connects Anaikkalapalayam along Poondurai Road with Nanjanapuram along Perundurai Road. This stretch covers a length of 7.2 km including the Railway over bridge near Jeeva Nagar. The Government sanctioned a cost of 69.3 crore and is expected to be completed during Feb-March 2017.[9]

The 7.6 km stretch of the road under phase-I & II has been opened for public to transit between Kokkarayanpet and Anaikalpalayam.[10][11] The phase-III also includes widening of the 2-lane stretch under phase-I & II into a 4-lane road of 30 meters width.[12]

Part-II

This western section of the Outer Ring road is planned to connect Perundurai Road with Bhavani Road. Initially, as per the master plan of Erode LPA drawn in 1996, it was planned to connect Palayapalayam with BP Agraharam through Soolai. Later due to growth of residential areas, it was redrawn to connect Thindal with Villarasampatti(Nasiyanur Road), Periyasemur(Sathy Road) and BP Agraharam(Bhavani Road) for 9.6 km.[13] But later, considering the increasing traffic and population in the areas of Periyasemur and BP Agraharam, the alignment has been restructured.

In 2015, the Highways department has prepared a proposal to connect Nanjanapuram near Thindal with Chithode via Nasiyanur, which will further connect Bhavani via Lakshmi Nagar.[14] The stretch between Nasiyanur-Chithode and Bhavani road is now part of the National Highway 544 Bypass.

Highways Department is awaiting the financial clearance to take up this project under TNRSP or with World Bank funding. Until execution of this Nanjanapuram-Nasiyanur section, the Highways Department has decided to widen the existing link road connecting Thindal-Villarasampatti-Periyasemur into a 4-lane INNER RING ROAD as a temporary relief.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe the traffic in Erode.

answer: There can be rapid increases in traffic congestion inside the core city, and the narrow and congested city roads don't cater to these increased traffic needs.

text: Another critical point of the traffic in Erode is the number of trucks. The answer should mention that.

refinement: There can be rapid increases in traffic congestion inside the core city, and the narrow and congested city roads don't cater to these increased traffic needs. There's also a high number of trucks entering the city.

text: The rapid increase in traffic: "This results in the rapid increase in traffic congestion inside the core city."

text: Narrow roads: "The narrow and congested city roads does not cater to the increasing traffic needs."

answer: Traffic congestion has rapidly increased. Pan of the reason is that growth of the city is based in the direction the cars travel - city roads are radial. Vehicles travel into the city using a bypass highway and through the city limiting traffic. Another cause of the traffic congestion is that there are a large number of trucks entering the city, and the city roads are not capable of handling that volume of traffic.

text: Traffic congestion increases rapidly during the day, not as a recent ongoing problem as the answer implies.

refinement: Traffic congestion can rapidly increase because the city is a major hub. Pan of the reason is that growth of the city is based in the direction the cars travel - city roads are radial. Vehicles travel into the city using a bypass highway and through the city limiting traffic.

text: Trucks: "Also, the number of trucks entering the city is significantly high."

answer: The state government of Tamil Nadu constructed a new ring road to facilitate better traffic flow around the city. Severe congestion was caused because of a densely developed city and a steep increase in the number of cars and trucks in city roads, which were narrow and clogged. The government constructed an expansion to the city, National Highway 544, which travels around the western outskirts of the city. This action caused the city's development to be concentrated in the new direction, towards the west. This expansion was not enough to mitigate the congestion and traffic on crowded city streets, so it was decided that a supplemental outer ring road was needed.

text: The city government's decision is irrelevant to the question.

The narrow and congested city roads does not cater to the increasing traffic needs.[2] This paved the need for developing better road infrastructure for vehicles travelling across Erode."

answer:
Erode has an extensive network of radial roads originating from the core city which has resulted in rapid increase in traffic congestion. The narrow and congested city roads are unable to cater to the increasing traffic needs. The need for better road infrastructures for vehicles travelling in and around Erode spurred the construction of the Outer Ring Road. The Outer Ring Road around the city is being executed in two sectors.

The Outer Ring Road diverts around 2200 trucks and buses away from the city roads and also connects areas like Pallipalayam, Sankagiri, and Tiruchengode which were only accessible by one Cauvery Bridge. Meanwhile, the western section is planned to connect the Perundurai Road with Bhavani Road. The Highways Department in Erode is awaiting the financial clearance to take up this project.

The narrow and congested city roads does not cater to the increasing traffic needs.[2] This paved the need for developing better road infrastructure for vehicles travelling across Erode."

answer: Erode city has a high volume of traffic due to its status as a district headquarters and marketing center. This has led to traffic congestion inside the core city and insufficient roads to accommodate the increased traffic volume. Additionally, there are more trucks entering the city than there are capable roads for them to use. In order to alleviate the issue, construction of the Outer Ring Road has been proposed. This road will act as a bypass for traffic flowing in and out of the city and will also aid in connecting the east and west areas of the city for further development and transit. Though still in progress stages, the Outer Ring Road is expected to help ease traffic around Erode.

WR 140 is a visually moderately bright Wolf-Rayet star placed within the spectroscopic binary star, SBC9 1232,[1] whose primary star is an evolved spectral class O4-5 star.[2] It is located in the constellation of Cygnus, lying in the sky at the centre of the triangle formed by Deneb, γ Cygni and δ Cygni.

WR 140 has been described as the brightest Wolf Rayet star in the northern hemisphere, although WR 133 also in Cygnus is comparably bright.[3] The Wolf-Rayet component is identified as the secondary star, being less massive, less luminous, and probably less visually bright than its primary even though it dominates the spectrum with its broad emission lines.[4] The primary star is an O4-5 star,[5] most likely a giant or supergiant.[6][7] Its current accepted spectroscopic orbit is highly eccentric and has an orbital period of 7.9 ± 0.2 years, which has been determined from the velocity variations observed with the component's spectral lines, mostly from the Balmer absorption lines of the O4-5 primary and C IV emission lines at 465.0 nm. for WR 140.[8] Separation between these two stars varies from 1.3 AU at periastron to 23.9 AU at apastron.[9]

WR 140 is listed as a Wolf-Rayet variable star, and has been given the variable star designation V1687 CYG in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, whose visual brightness varies only very slightly.[10] Interest with this WR 140 system is principally observing the infrared light fluctuations during the component's orbit, being extensively studied because of its episodic dust formation.[11] It is now regarded as the prototype colliding-wind binary.[12] Shortly after periastron passage every eight years, the infrared brightness increases dramatically and then slowly drops again over a period of months.[13] Here stellar winds collide with the dust formation created by the stars.[14]

(New Directions) ] _VIEUX CARRÉ_ (1977) is a play by Tennessee Williams. Referring to the French term for the French Quarter, it is a semi-autobiographical play set in New Orleans. Although he began writing the play shortly after moving to New Orleans from St. Louis in 1938, Williams did not complete it for nearly forty years.[1]

Drawing on earlier writings, Williams wrote most of the play in 1976. He prepared revisions for its New York premiere in 1977 and for two productions in England in 1978. The revised text was published by New Directions in 1979.[2]

Plot synopsis

Set in the late 1930s in a dilapidated boarding house at 722 Toulouse Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the play focuses on a nameless writer, who has newly arrived from St. Louis. He is struggling as a young man with his writing career, poverty, loneliness, homosexuality, and a cataract. He gradually becomes involved with other residents, including Mrs. Wire, his manipulative landlady; Nightingale, an older, predatory, tubercular artist who refuses to accept his condition; Jane, a New Rochelle society girl dying of leukemia; her sexually ambiguous, drug-addicted lover Tye, who works as a bouncer in a strip club; Mary Maud and Miss Carrie, two eccentric, poor, elderly women, who are literally starving to death; and a gay photographer with a passion for orgies.

Broadway production

Following eleven previews, the original Broadway production, directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman, opened on May 11, 1977 at the St. James Theatre. It closed after five performances.

The cast included Richard Alfieri as the writer, Tom Aldredge as Nightingale, and Sylvia Sidney as Mrs. Wire. Galt MacDermot composed incidental music and co-wrote the songs “Sugar in the Cane” and “Lonesome Man” with Williams. The scenic and lighting designs were by James Tilton, and Jane Greenwood designed the costumes.

Critical reception

In his 1977 review in the _New York Times_, Clive Barnes wrote,

  Is _Vieux Carre_ a good play? Probably not. But it depends what you mean by good. It is a play of blatant melodrama and crepuscular atmosphere — poetically speaking, and he never tried anything less; Mr. Williams always writes of violence at twilight. Its qualities are those of texture rather than form. It is a series of vignettes, based on fact, falsified by art, transformed into short stories, and woven into a play . . . If we always expect the unexpected to happen—and as playgoers we do—nothing happens. And the play has no structures other than the interweaving of caricatured characters. Yet it has a haunting nature — you leave the theater with the impression of having been told a secret. Not necessarily a truth, but a secret . . . And it is unquestionably, the murmurings of genius, not a major statement. Yet beneath those murmurings, through the meanderings, is an authentic voice of the 20th-century theater. It is slight but not negligible. Which, considering so many dramas, is a pleasant reversal."[3]

The play has been produced many times since its premiere in New York. A critic covering a 2008 production in St. Louis wrote, “This semi-autobiographical account of an innocent young writer being exposed to illness and death, love and violence in a seedy boarding house intrigues both as one of Williams' earliest — and also as one of his final — works.”[4]

                              An Hour

The bird on the wall squawked once. It had flung itself into the stagnant air for a moment, pausing only long enough to cry its chord, then vanished into its nest once more. It fell silent. Everything was silent. The hallways were silent, no longer begging for the soft steps for which they had once longed. The door frame was cut and marked to varying degrees, with names and numbers scrawled in caring script. The kitchen was calm, the measured dripping of the faucet's tears had long since dried into apathy. The living room lacked its own eponymous nature, its couches and chairs tired and layered in heavy, gray lethargy. Out front, the pumps were dry and thirsty, pleading for a drink, a drink inevitably denied by the cracked dirt of the stone well. An old wooden bucket, moldy with maturity, lay still and silent, in mimicry of the world it knew. The house was empty.

 The silence broke all at once, and rain fell swiftly, sure and confident the land it softened would give no resistance. The land had long since been claimed by the rain and had resigned itself to its domain. As the rain descended, the sun melted away, unable to compete with the storm. A once great entity reduced to flaming rubble on the horizon, still emitting light, faintly, however unnecessary light happened to be.

It would have been hard to breathe, the trees had long since been uprooted or toppled. They no longer had the will to breathe life into the world, and the world too was too weary to sustain it. And thus the trees fell, and with them, the world held its breath.

The cracked dirt drank quickly, and cried, parched for more. The thirst was unquenchable, the more there was, the less it seemed. The rain stopped as suddenly as it had begun, and the Earth tried to cry, but the tears refused to flow. It feared the rain had forever ended, as it had once breathed in excess, now it craved the winds cool embrace. The sun shone again. This time brighter than before. Had someone cared to look, a wooden clock shaped like a house could be seen on the wall, preparing to sing the hour.

The dry ground had since decayed and warm methane breezes would often flow, dragging along streams of blood red dust, a parade for the emptiness. A window gave out, and the dust found the inside of the house becoming desert. And then the wind gave out and the dust settled permanently in it's new home. The last wind had come, and gone, and with it, had blown the last flame in the sky. The bird cried twice in darkness.

answer: The rain washed away the dusty air inside the house, replacing it with something wetter and more vibrant. The sun shone again and the wind died down, scattering the dust permanently throughout the house. The bird cried twice as the house descended into darkness.

text: Wetter and more vibrant is not a good description

refinement: The ground died up and the wind blew, scattering the dust permanently throughout the house. The bird cried twice as the house descended into darkness.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer:
The bird on the wall squawks once, then hangs upside down to cry its note.

The hallway silently after long-ing for footsteps.

The storm lashes the land, drenched but thirsty for more.

The land falls to dusty red winds.

answer: The house is empty and quiet as rain begins to fall. The storms ends abruptly, and the ground becomes thirsty for more. The last wind blows and there is no more light in the sky. The bird cries twice in the darkness. The house is now completely void of life.

answer:
There was silence all around the house. The kitchen was calm, the faucets dry, the door frame cut, and the pumps empty.

All of a sudden the silence was broken as rain droplets fell swiftly. The tree longing for water could not tolerate the storm and fell while the sun melted away in the stormy sky.

It stopped raining just as quickly as it started. Eventually the land dries up and the dust parades into the empty house making it its new abode.

answer: The hallways of the house are silent. Their once bright and hopeful eponymous living and kitchen areas have become lethargic and gray. The door frame is marred with names and numbers. The wooden bucket is unmoved, as is the neglected well and the empty pumpkin field next to the house. The trees are uprooted and the sun has set, taking the birds with it. During the night rain falls and pauses and deepens the cracks in the earth. Dust settles and the last wind passes before the last flame of light expires.

answer: The house is now empty and quiet, all life around it dried up and powerless. In the dark, a bird cries twice. Rain falls, but doesn't replenish the parched earth. The sun eventually rises but can't compete with the dust storm that follows. Everything falls silent until the clock rings out the hour. The dust settles, coinciding with the end of all winds.

It was a hot summer’s day. The trees swayed back and forth in the rare cool breeze, glad to be relieved from the merciless heat. As I stared up at the sky, the clouds seemed to dance around its blue canvas, forming bears, birds, dragons and all the figures that I could ever imagine.  I stirred from my daydream to find my friend Danny.  He was a short kid, with blonde sandy hair that never seemed to straighten itself out.

“Wanna go bee hunting?” he asked me, excitement lighting up in his eyes like a wildfire.

I smirked and followed Danny to meet up with the rest of the group.
Bee hunting was a tradition for the group. We did it at the start of every school term. We would begin by finding a beehive. Then one person was nominated to try and knock it down. After the hive was knocked down, the goal was to run as fast as we could and try not to get stung. The epitome of games.

As we drew close to the group, I could feel the eager atmosphere around us. Our group consisted of four guys, including Danny and I. The other two were Michael and James, although I was closer to Danny. Michael was fairly quiet, he didn’t do or say much, but I guess we all liked it that way. I was average height; I always have been average, nothing special. And James looked fairly similar to me, although he was a lot taller. When Danny and I were finally standing in front of the other pair, we all exchanged formalities then got down to business.

“Has anyone seen a beehive since we got here?” Danny asked the three of us.

“I actually saw one hanging on a tree branch at the back of the school!” James exclaimed.

The fire in Danny’s eyes burned even brighter, I could feel it just from standing next to him. He found some sort of joy in this, nothing like the three of us did. It was like he had to do it to survive. It was in his blood.

 “Well what are we waiting for? Lead the way!” he smiled.

We all ran for the back of the school to where James had described, not wasting a single second of our adrenaline. I scouted the tree line, trying to find the beehive that James had told us about. Finally, I saw a yellow spec in the distance. “There!” I yelled, as I pointed to it.

As we reached the tree that the beehive was hanging from, the sound of buzzing was getting exponentially louder and louder. When we were finally standing under the beehive, the buzzing sound was roaring in our ears. I was stunned at how many bees there were; hundreds, possibly thousands!
I turned to the group and tried yelling over the roaring in our ears, but they just stared at me. It was no use; we had to get away from the hive first to talk it out. I waved my hand for the rest to follow me, as I walked out of hearing distance from the hive. “Okay, so how are we going to do this?” I asked.

Danny reached into his pocket and pulled out a box of matches. “I came prepared,” he smirked.
He pulled out four matches and lit one of them before putting it out. He then turned the matches upside down so nobody could see the burnt part of the match and shuffled them. “Who wants to go first?”

Everybody looked at each other, not wanting to go first and pull the burnt one.

“I’ll go first,” I said, wanting to be the bigger man.

Danny held out his hand, I looked at the matches, they all looked the same. I decided it was just better to close my eyes and hope for the best. I held one hand over my eyes and used the other to pick a match. When I picked one up I heard the others sound a sigh of relief. My stomach started to sink as I opened my eyes to reveal the burnt match in my very fingers. “Just my luck…” I muttered.
“Okay, so what are we using this time boys?” Danny asked us, seeming kind of disappointed that he didn’t get to pull the burnt match.

I looked around for something that would do the job, but put me at the furthest distance away from the hive. If only I had my slingshot right now. I thought to myself. As I hunted the thick grass for something that would be of use to me, I found a nice, sturdy looking stick that was about half my height.

Definitely no slingshot, but it will have to do. I thought.

I picked up the stick and started to walk towards the hive. As the buzzing got louder and louder in my ears, I realised that I was pretty much alone now even though the group was right behind me. There was no communication now, just me and the hive.

Time slowed down. As I looked up at the home of the bees, I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest. Suddenly I felt regret, fear of getting stung.

This is stupid, why am I doing this? This is stupid. I told myself. Snap out of it! I brought myself back to the main point of this whole activity. The thrill and exhilaration was just too good to pass up. I slowed my breathing, trying to gain my confidence again. I looked up at the hive and steadied my stick, like a baseball bat; ready to take the biggest swing of my life. I closed my eyes as I started to swing, time slowed down. Every millisecond felt like a year. I thought the stick would never hit it. Suddenly a huge jolt ran down my arm and into my core. I opened my eyes as I saw the hive plummet. It shattered into a million pieces as it struck the ground. I knew I should run but I couldn’t, my body wouldn’t let me. I was trapped. I turned around and saw my friends sprinting from the impact. Then Danny turned around and saw that I wasn’t moving. He waved his arm at me to go, worry in his eyes. I finally came to my senses and my legs took off. Next I knew I was sprinting right beside Danny. He turned his head and smirked at me while we were running. I could see the pride in his eyes. The next 30 seconds went by before I could blink.

As we threw ourselves on the ground, finally away from the bees, I felt the adrenaline leave my body. I looked around at the three others and we all laughed hysterically as our minds finally took in what had happened.

“That was wild,” I muttered, breathing heavily.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about why the boys liked going bee hunting?

answer: Page was blank aside from the title at the time of this edit.

text: This comment has nothing to do with answering the question. A proper response must be created.

refinement: The boys liked going bee hunting because they enjoyed the thrill and satisfaction of knocking over a beehive. It was a tradition for their friend group. They seemed drawn to the adrenaline rush and challenge of bee hunting. It's something they would do no matter what because it gives them a high unlike anything else.

answer: The boys liked going bee hunting because they felt a rush of excitement when chasing and knocking down a beehive. The thrill comes from the adrenaline and the rush of endorphins released into their system.

answer: According to the narrator, there was something in the activity that stimulated their brains, at least for Danny, if not the other boys too. Before the activity of bee hunting, they would simply wait out what they thought was left of the summer while sitting inside. However Danny always seemed to present the opportunity or situation to carry out the activity, and it was obvious to the other boys that he enjoyed it passionately.

answer: Every time school resumed, the narrator and his friends would go bee hunting. Once they spot one, they would nominate a member who would craftily knock down the beehive; afterward, they'd run away from the bees. The narrator and his group of friends liked to do this because it was considered the tradition for the group. It was also a form of special bonding among them.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

When did the narrator suddenly regret the idea of volunteering to go first?

answer: Danny put a burnt matchstick among other unburnt matchsticks and decided that the person to choose the odd match will get to bring down the beehive. However, when the narrator realized no one was willing to make any attempt to go first, he volunteered himself and wound up selecting the odd matchstick. The narrator soon regretted his decision when he was faced with the task of figuring out how to knock down the beehive they'd spotted. He worried about getting stung by the bees if he eventually succeeded in getting the hive to the ground. Although he succeeded in getting the hive down, shock and fear kept him rooted to the ground when he was supposed to run off with his friends once the bees gushed out of the hive.

answer: The narrator initially regretted the idea of being the first to attempt to knock down the beehive when he saw the bees getting closer and louder. However, the narrator ultimately overcame this fear and swung the stick anyway.

answer: When he watches the hive and thinks of the consequences of his actions.

text: This response needs to be written in a clear sentence and more detail can be added to it.

refinement: The narrator initially regretted the idea of being the first to attempt to knock down the beehive when he saw the bees getting closer and louder. As the narrator was hitting the hive with the stick, he was questioning why he was doing this and was struck with fear.  However, the narrator ultimately overcame this fear and swung the stick anyway.

answer: The narrator starts to regret the idea of volunteering to go first when the bees' buzzing sound gets louder and louder in the group's ears. The narrator senses fear bubbling up inside of them and starts to think that this was stupid and that they wish that they had never volunteered. However, the feeling of exhilaration gets the better of them and they finally take the swing, shattering the hive. The moment of regret passes quickly, and the narrator is laughing hysterically alongside the group at the end of the activity.

answer: The narrator regretted the idea of volunteering to go first when he realized that his mind has completely trapped him.

text: This response is not fully correct, as the narrator was upset that they had to hit the beehive and then got more worried when they finally had to start hitting the hive. This response should be re-written.
