Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions 34-36.
Aphids are tiny green insects that are a chronic pest for farmers. Spiders and ground beetles
living along field margins can keep their numbers under control. But as fields have become
larger, the spiders and beetles take longer to get to the
middle of them, so farmers began using
pesticides for a problem that was once controlled naturally. An insect ecologist came up with a
new solution called "beetle banks". These are one metre-wide strips of grass planted at 100-
metre intervals across the fields. After two years, there will be enough beetles and spiders in
one beetle bank to eat 52 million aphids a week, and the farmer will get rid of aphids without
using a single drop of pesticide.
34. We can infer from the passage that………. .
A)all insects are pests for
farmers
