• B. It explores the field of entomology, particularly focusing on gills.
• C. It explains the mechanism of insects' respiration.
• D. It encourages readers to contribute to insect conservation efforts.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the passage primarily discusses certain insects that spend time in water during their early stages and then transition to an aerial life when they reach adulthood. It highlights how these insects, such as Stoneflies, May-flies, and Dragon-flies, live in water initially and then in the air during their adult stage. This central idea is best captured by choice A. <br> Choice B is incorrect because while the passage mentions gills as a part of the respiratory system of aquatic insects, it does not delve into entomology as a field. Choice C is incorrect as it does not solely focus on defining insect respiration but rather on the transition of certain insects between aquatic and aerial environments. Choice D is incorrect as the passage does not explicitly invite readers to participate in insect preservation efforts; it mainly focuses on describing the life cycle of specific insects.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The speaker's final comment implies that if the person is indeed Mr. Hyde, then the speaker would assume the role of Mr. Seek, indicating a determination to continue searching for Hyde. This suggests that the speaker intends to persist in their search for Hyde rather than giving up or changing direction. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or mistakenly looking for the wrong person. The focus is on the speaker's resolve to find Mr. Hyde.
