Read the passage from "Your Everyday Zombie" by Christie Wilcox.
Ants infected with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis find themselves compelled to amble far
from their homes, climb trees or sprouts, and end up on the bottom side of a leaf where
they clamp down their jaws and wait while the fungus eats them from the inside out.
What's incredible is the precision with which these zombied ants choose their final
resting place: 18 they all choose to die on the vein on the bottom of a north-facing leaf
approximately 25 cm above the ground in an area with 94 to 95 percent humidity and
between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius-perfect conditions for the fungus to grow. After a
few weeks, spores fall from the now fully eaten corpse to infect other ants and
continue the fungus' life cycle.
How can the words humidity, Celsius, spores, fungus, and Ophiocordyceps unilateralis BEST be
described?
O figurative language
O connotations
Onuances
O technical language
