Answer:

The reason that Mrs. Whitaker rejects Galaad's offer of the apple of the Hesperides while accepting his other two gifts is:

The apple of Hesperides represents Mrs. Whitaker's past.  She does not want to return to her youth, out of free choice, even though she is enamored of youthful exuberance.

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories, entitled "Smoke and Mirrors" (1998), has a second tale christened "Chivalry."  The theme of "Chivalry" is about love, growing old, and personal choices. This Neil Gaiman's Christmas special is the story of Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop.  When approached by a Knight for the Holy Grail, she chose, in exchange, some precious stones, instead of the apple of the Hesperides, which could have returned her youth, a youth she remembered with nostalgia.

Answer:

The author's parents were afraid to discuss murders or events in the Dominican Republic.

Explanation:

The author's parents clearly did not want to discuss anything that had to do with the Dominican Republic. They went out of their way to ensure that the author did not find out about any of the events on the island even though he / she wanted to know.

The parents most likely thought it would be wiser not to discuss cruel and bloody happenings with the children who should instead be focusing on life in the new country.

Answer:

Explanation:

The key in Risk Management is to make a well-informed decision to have the greatest possibility of avoiding damages or to be able to control them if they happen.  

In the example, even if a wire fence has been installed to keep wild marine life outside of the swimming area, the best to do is to confirm if the suitable authorities have approved that fence so we are sure, first of all that swimming is really safe and, that in front of an undesirable event, we will have someone to whom raise a claim against.
