Question
why do parasites typically do not try to kill their host?
parasites usually do kill their host.
they would have to find another host.
parasites are very kind - hearted.
they would be sad if the host dies.
Parasites rely on their host for resources like nutrients. If they kill the host, they lose this resource source. So, they need the host to stay alive as long as possible. Option "They would have to find another host" makes sense as finding a new host is not always easy and having a current host is more beneficial for their survival and resource - acquisition. The option "Parasites usually do kill their host" is incorrect as the question is about why they typically don't. "Parasites are very kind - hearted" and "They would be sad if the host dies" are anthropomorphic and not based on biological facts.
