3 : a single usually short last line (as of a paragraph) separated from its related text and appearing at the top of a printed page or column

Answer 2

Maybe you mean the Black Widow spider.

Well just in case:
Widow spiders (Genus Latrodectus) are the best known and largest of the Cobweb Weavers (Family Therididae). All widows are venomous, though not all can cause injury to humans. Black Widows comprise about six species and inhabit most of the warmer regions of the world to a latitude of about 45 degrees N. The female black widow spider, though it is the most venomous spider in North America, seldom causes death as it injects a very small amount of poison when it bites. Reports indicate human mortality at well less than 1% from black widow spider bites.

Answer 3

A widow is a woman whose husband died. Her purpose is to take care of the remaining family. She may also have a job.

Answer 4

A widow is a woman whose husband has died. A man whose wife has died is a widower. The state of having lost one's spouse to death is termed widowhood or (occasionally) viduity. The term "widow" is less frequently applied to a surviving husband in a gender-neutral manner, and is sometimes applied to a woman or man whose unmarried life partner has died.
