tolykos, dead now, though living still when I took ship for holy Troy. Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias. Soon from the dark that prince of Thebes came forward bearing a golden staff; and he addressed me Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. But anguish lies ahead

The answer would be <u><em>'Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias'</em></u>.

In the original sentence the speaker is desolated after seeing the ghost of a beloved one, most likely, his mother.  The expression he used 'held her off' means that he did not speak to her simply because he was waiting to feel the presence of a different ghost: Theresias'.

The word see in both the question and the answer can be compared with one another, as well as ''didnt speak with her'' and ''held her off''. <em>Both stating that despite seeing the ghost it had been ignored. </em>

strojnjashka [21]

a) Potential Sources of confounding:

1) Pancreatic cancer patients were being compared with persons hospitalized for cancerous diseases.  Coffee may likely aggravate the pains of pancreatic cancer patients unlike other cancer patients because the latter's cancer diseases were not digestive.

2) Unintended bias was introduced by investigators in questioning patients.  The investigators asked questions on coffee drinking habits of those already hospitalized.  This biased the drinking of coffee as a predisposing factor.

3) There could be differences among men and women because of other habits.  While drinking more coffee predisposed women to cancer, according to the confounding statements, drinking even more did not have much difference in men.

Explanation:

"CRITICS SAY COFFEE STUDY WAS FLAWED" was an article in New York Times written by Harold M. Schmeck Jr. on June 30, 1981.   It attempted to critique the study of drinking coffee and its disposal to cause cancer to the drinkers.

In this article, he introduced the views of critics of the Coffee Study which was earlier published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the accompanying refutal by the researchers.
