As opposed to earthworms, arthropods (crayfish) segments often become fused. Therefore, certain parts of a crayfish that looks like one piece, was once multiple pieces before they became fused together, so some segments were actually once more than just that one segment. An earthworm on the other hand, is just as many segments as are seen, and always has been.

How are the respiratory organs of the grasshopper different from those of the earthworm?

Respiration by the entire exterior versus by staggered openings is the way that the respiratory organs of the grasshopper are different from those of the earthworm. The annelid in question manages to take in oxygen and to release carbon dioxide as long as the outside of the worm's body is moist. The insect in question uses spaced holes, known as spiracles, to release carbon dioxide and to transport oxygen to the trachea.

You live in North America and your lawn doesn't drain well after a rain so you have crayfish holes in your lawn How do you get rid of the crayfish without having to capture them?

Create a different drain route for the water, or you can try to fill those holes with dirt. You could set up a seafood stand, if you have a permit or license for it! Crayfish is kind of nasty though This is an interesting problem I have never heard of before. But if your lawn is still flooded, another thing you can try is set a crayfish trap, which can be purchased from a local sporting goods store. This is how they harvest crayfish from commercial crayfish farms.

Can parallel lines be a different size but still be parallel?

Yes; but in math, if you talk about "lines", that means one that stretches infinitely in both directions.
