Founded in 1969 Friends of the Earth is an international network of organizations devoted to advocate for environmental issues. EcoNexus was founded in February of 2000 as a research focused organization oriented to analyze new technologies and their potential negative impact on the environment.

These two groups have strongly voiced their stand against the creation and testing of OX513A (which is the name given to the genetically modified male Aedes aegypti mosquito) because of the unknown ramifications this experiment could have. These environmentalists sustain that introducing genetically engineered insects could have a series of events that nobody would be able to control.

What is the theme of “Pastoral” by Jennifer Chang?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

I believe the theme of "Pastoral" is<u> </u><u>"adaptation." </u>

Explanation:

"Pastoral" is a poem written by <em>Jennifer Chang</em>, an American scholar and poet. The poem is part of her collection called<u> "The History of Anonymity."</u> It is a type of<em> lyrical poem</em> whereby the writer expresses her emotions through <u>nature</u>, such as<em> plants, fruits, grass, weeds, etc. </em>

The theme of Pastoral is<u> "adaptation."</u> It talks about <u><em>how nature adapts to what is happening in the surrounding environment.</em></u> For example, it mentioned <em>"Something in the field has mastered distance by living too close to fences."</em> This shows how such part of nature mastered its situation by living close to the fences.

The poem also shows how some cannot master such situation as it's mentioned in the end<em>, "Something in the field cannot." </em>This also shows "survival of the fittest." One example of this is<em> grass fighting with the weeds. </em>This happens when both fight for the nutrients in the soil. This is part of nature which they adapt to wherein only the strong one survives.

The function g(d)=600−50d represents the number of gallons of water in a tank d days after the tank is filled. What does the val
Kitty [74]

Given that a function

g(d) = 600-50d

Here g is dependent variable and d independent variable

We have to interpret the term 50 in this situation.

g = 600-50d

600 represents the initial amount of water in the tank i.e. when d =0

Let us assume d changes by 1 day. say d+1

then new g = g' = 600-50(d+1) = 550-50d


i.e. whenever d increases by 1 unit, g decreases by 50 galons

Hence correct answer is

The volume of the tank decreases by 50 gal every day.
