I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the whi

te-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What is the author implying in the phrase "the wind must have been right"?                  A. The deer was clearly not afraid of humans.                                                                B. The author was worried the wind would disturb his shot.
 C. The deer was not able to pick up the scent of the author.                                          D. The author was fortunate to have his camera with him.

I believe the answer is C because the sentence continues with, ..."because he kept on browsing the mossy ground." That shows that the reason why the deer didn't run away is because it didn't pick up the scent of the author, which is why it kept on browsing the ground.

forsale [732]

Answer :

The following details from the narration show that Rainsford is an experienced hunter and outdoor enthusiast :

C. Some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush;  

Rainsford's experienced eye could make out a wounded animal in the closely knit web of weeds and trees.

D. the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson

Rainsford noticed that some weeds were crushed down. This can only happen due to the weight of a wild wounded animal. He also noticed that the moss was torn at certain places and a patch of weeds was stained crimson from the blood of a hunted animal. Being an experienced hunter, Rainsford could pick up all these signs of a hunted prey.

E. A small, glittering object not far away caught Rainsford's eye and he picked it up. It was an empty cartridge.

Rainsford was a highly skilled and experienced hunter so he could not help but notice the empty cartridge lying near the wounded animal. He could easily recognize it from years of hunting experience.

Assume that Joyce's physiological and safety needs are met, but her other needs are not met. According to Maslow's need hierarch
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Joyce is most likely to be motivated by her love/belonging needs.

Explanation:

According to psychologist Abraham Maslow, people are motivated by their needs. Those needs have a certain hierarchy, the most basic (even primitive) ones being fulfilled before the most developed ones. They follow the sequence below:

1. physiological;

2. safety;

3. love/belonging;

4. esteem;

5. self-actualization.

Therefore, only when our physiological needs are satisfied (breathing, eating, drinking water, etc.) is that we are driven by our need for safety. <u>When both, our physiological needs and safety needs, are met, we are motivated by our love/belonging needs. That is the current need that motivates Joyce, since the previous two have been met.</u> Once she feels loved (by family/friends), once she has a sense of belonging, she will be motivated by her needs of esteem, and so on.
