BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
The black widow spider’s NOTORIETY is not without foundation. However, an
element of exaggeration has led to certain (1. CONCEPT)_____________regarding its
evil nature.

venom by (3. COMPARE) _____________ that it is unlikely to kill humans. In fact, (4.

Black widows bite only if they are touched or their web is threatened.

ZF11 may not pose a danger, but the threat of other strikes still looms, and

(18. ORDINARY) __________of these is the crater in the Yucatan Peninsula which

Scientist belive that it is only a matter of time before another celestial hulk
hits home in this giant game of cosmic darts. But what really worries astonomers is
