Answer:

The novelty of the theme and its treatment enthralled the audience.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury tales" is a collection of tales narrated by the thirty pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The idea was that each pilgrim will tell four stories, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. This was written in Middle English, which made it easier for the common people to understand it.

In these tales, Chaucer used his characters to draw out the issues relating to political, social or even religious themes, uncommon topics for the people of that age to openly talk about. The description of these themes through the tales were true but were not openly pointed out in public by anyone. Special case is the corruption of the church, the poverty all are real life issues that were ignored. Also, the characterization of people from different backgrounds made it even more popular for the common masses can easily relate to them.

From the excerpt given above it can be seen that the major theme of the passage is about necessary precautions that must be taken during space travelling. This can be seen from the sentences used in the passage such as:' putting on inner hand gloves, using ear protectors, putting on biohazard space suits, etc.  It can be seen from the passage that extreme precautions have to be taken when dealing with potentially dangerous materials, therefore the correct option is B.

Which of the following topics would be suitable for a short research paper?
Margaret [11]

An in depth study of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein would not be a short research paper. Ideally you would have to have a more specific research question/focus on one aspect of the novel. An in depth study is too broad.

An analysis of protagonists in Jane Austen's works once again would not be a short research paper, if it was limited to one or two of her books then yes but not all of them.

A comparison of Homers Illiad and Odyssey once again is too broad a topic and if you were to compare everything in both novels you would be looking at a rather lengthy research paper.

Moby D*ck is full of symbolism and if you could find a way to summarize effectively and succinctly the story and maybe just focus on the actual whale as the subject matter and what it represents in the book you could definitely make a good relatively short research paper out of it.  

Alternatively would be an analysis of Edgar Allan Poe's narrative style in The Black Cat. The Black Cat is a short story and ideal for this type of research paper.
