[Answer] why are there so many grasshoppers this year 2019

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "why are there so many grasshoppers this year 2019"

...A single season of drought is not normally sufficient to stimulate a major population increase, but several successive dry seasons can do so, especially if the intervening winters are mild so that large numbers of nymphs survive. Although sunny weather stimulates growth, there needs to be an adequate food supply for the increasing grasshopper population. This means that although precipitation is needed to stimulate plant growth, prolonged periods of cloudy weather will slow nymphal development. Grasshoppers can best be prevented from becoming pests by manipulating their environment. Shade provided by trees will discourage them and they may be prevented from moving onto developing crops by removing coarse vegetation from fallow land and field margins and discouraging thick growth beside ditches and on roadside verges. With increasing numbers of grasshoppers, predator numbers may increase, but this seldom happens rapidly enough to have much effect on populations. Biological control is being investigated, and spores of the protozoan parasite Nosema locustae can be used mixed with bait to control grasshoppers, being more effective with immature insects. On a small scale, neem products can be effective as a feeding deterrent and as a disruptor of nymphal development. Insecticides can be used, but adult grasshoppers are difficult to kill, and as they move into fields from surrounding rank growth, crops may soon become reinfested.

[Answer] 5. How many players are there on each team?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. How many players are there on each team?"

...1. 8 2. 2 3. 4 4. 1 Curling is played by two teams of four players, each delivering two stones. A curling team is sometimes called a "rink" (which is also where curling is played). The players on each team alternate their deliveries. When each team has delivered all eight stones, the round, or "end", in curling-speak, is over, and the score is determined. The delivery of the first stone in the first end is determined through a couple of different methods, but the first stone in subsequent ends is delivered by the team who scored most recently. Most matches are 8 ends long, taking about 2 hours to complete, but major tournaments (or "bonspiels", in curling-speak) are 10 ends long. There are official rules for "mixed doubles" curling, where there are only two players on each team, and each team delivers 5 stones each in an end. Each team also begins an end with one pre-positioned stone.

[Answer] 8. There is a right triangle PQR where:angle Q = 90 degrees;angle P = angle R.What is the measure of angles P and R?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "8. There is a right triangle PQR where: angle Q = 90 degrees; angle P = angle R. What is the measure of angles P and R?"

...1. 65 degrees 2. 60 degrees 3. 45 degrees 4. 75 degrees In the given triangle PQR, angle Q = 90 degrees. Now let us assume: angle P = angle R = x. By the angle sum property of a triangle, the sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. => angle P + angle Q + angle R = 180 degrees => x + x + 90 degrees = 180 degrees => 2x = 90 degrees => x = 45 degrees Hence, *both angle P and angle R = 45 degrees*.
