0 Guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) I MEGA NEWB okay air or gas or maybe even bacteria Nope, but maybe the answer is found inside one of the substances in your first two guesses. Bacteria... Not it either. Think of the "blight" in the second line as a method of causing something, and that will lead you more in the right direction.

0 Guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) oxygen or carbon or matter even atom/molecules did I win Even though you took a somewhat random guess, it is: Carbon. Here's why: Carbon is always inside you. Victims of blight die, and over time their remains decompose into coal. Diamonds (made out of carbon) let out glitter. Carbon emmissions obstruct light's entrance into the atmosphere. We use carbon (coal) for power, so it "tries" to help us, but global warming really hurts us. Diamond is used to cut metals due to its sharpness. And graphite (in the form of carbon) dirties paper by writing. You may also notice the acrostic- ALLOTROPES, used to describe different substances made from the same compound (coal, graphite, diamond, etc.). Thanks for playing!
