In response to the pressure of his knees, the trained cow.pony whirled toward the Jack-pines, and Dorothy followed, laughing at the idea
that so ingenuous a man as Lem Trowbridge might possess the analytical gift of the trained detective
"You" she said mockingly, when she had caught up with him. "You're as transparent as glass; not that it isn't nice to be that way, but still you
are. Besides, the rain we've had must have washed all tracks away."
"No doubt, but we'll have a look anyhow. It won't do any harm. Seriously, though, ſhe ways of criminals have always Interested me. I'd rather
read a good detective story than any other sort of yarn."

Answer:

2. straightforward and simple

Explanation:

the fact that she was "laughing at the idea that so ingenuous a man as Lem Trowbridge might possess the analytical gift of the trained detective" implies that this is surprising behavior, something uncommon to Trowbridge. Since answers 1, 3, and 4 are all qualities of one that does possess the gift of analyticity, we can assume that Trowbridge is a straightforward and simple man, leading us to the answer of 2.

Research suggest that laughter improves peoples emotional and physical well-being write a researched based essay to inform the r
Over [174]

Laughter is an element that must be present in our lives. This is because it is a result of the well being that we are feeling and causes happiness that generates a strong relief for our mental health. In addition, many people are unaware of the physical benefits that laughter can have on our bodies.

Despite the scientifically proven benefits, laughter was not always so normal in our society, since in the Middle Ages it was seen as something sinful and that should be avoided by good Christians. Currently, our society has failed to smile more, due to the problems of modernity and the suppression that everyday life causes in our mental health.

However, it is important to emphasize the importance of laughter in our lives, as scientists around the world confirm that it is capable of promoting calorie burning, reducing stress, strengthening the abdomen and the immune system, stimulating friendship and relationships improving sleep quality, blood circulation, breathing and diffusion.

Compare how Chesterton and the author of “The Instinct that Makes People Rich” interpret the Midas myth. How do these different
leva [86]
The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.

Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.

Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.
