- By manipulating the newly discovered genes, the team at McGill University in Montreal was able to increase the lifespan of the nematode fivefold. Altering the genes caused the metabolism of the worms to operate at a more leisurely pace. This caused the DNA effects thought to bring about aging to accumulate at a reduced rate. Of course the causes of aging in humans are more involved than those in nematodes. However, researchers are confident that these discoveries will provide invaluable clues about this hitherto process. What is meant by the word manipulating in the passage? Modifying

- By the eighteenth century, the population had grown too large for the small island. At its peak, it was around 12,000. The only crop-sweet potatoes-could no longer feed the population. The palm forests had been cut down to provide rollers for the statues and to make way for roads. In 1722, when the first westerner, Admiral Jacob Roggeveen, visited the island, he wrote that there were hundreds of statues standing. When Captain Cook visited in 1774, he reported that only nine statues were still standing. Obviously, something dramatic had occurred during those years. What does the author refer to with the phrase something dramatic in this passage? The toppling of the statues
