Answer:

In this example, your judgment was influenced by the representativeness heuristic.

Explanation:

<u>The representativeness heuristic is a type of mental shortcut we take while making judgments. Based on a prototype already existent in our minds, we assess the likelihood of something happening.</u> In the example given in the passage, you assessed the probability of Stan working as a sportscaster based on your knowledge that he used to play college football. You allowed that information to influence your judgment, finding Stan more likely to be a sportscaster than anything else, which turned out to be wrong. Heuristics usually allow us to spend less time and energy making a decision or a judgment, which might come in handy sometimes. However, as shown in the example, they may also mislead us.

1. In Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg makes an impulsive wager that he can travel around the world in eighty days
CaHeK987 [17]

Focusing on Passepartout’s perspective makes the story objective. Passepartout doesn’t have a personal bias or have anything to prove so he doesn't react impulsively or affectionately. (Greenleafable, Brainly)“Being much less cool-headed than Mr. Fogg, he was much more restless, counting and recounting the days passed over, uttering maledictions when the train stopped, and accusing it of sluggishness, and mentally blaming Mr. Fogg for not having bribed the engineer. The worthy fellow was ignorant that, while it was possible by such means to hasten the rate of a steamer, it could not be done on the railway.” This is a quote showing that the narrator is telling the story from third person, not Passepartou from first, thus giving the story a more real and relatable aspect to it.

<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of consciousness technique.

 

This excerpt is an example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the thoughts of Septimus).

 

<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense anxiety and fear.

 

From a description of the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier, Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a sense of his intense anxiety and fear.

 

<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."

 

The description of the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming” by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the pavement, for a purpose?”

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

'Bright City Lights Are Keeping Ocean Predators Awake and Hungry' is an article written by Damon Bolton. The article talks about the affects of street-lights offshore on sea life.

In his article, Bolton asserts that light pollution has affected the predatory cycle of marine ecosystem. He reported that lights in oceans make prey of seafloor communities more visible to predators such as yellowfin bream and leatherjackets. <u>The artificial lights make sessile invertebrate prey communities more exposed to fish predators during night than day-light, which hampers the marine ecosystem. </u>Thus option D is correct.
