I assume your options are <span>1) rival, foil, accomplice, adversary and 2) weak, greedy, noisy, insensitive. Mrs. Samsa appears as a B. foil to her D. insensitive husband. Here are the explanations:

1. Mrs. Samsa seems to have much compassion for her son. However, she can't help being grossed out by his new appearance - she just can't bear to have a look at him and hopes he would eventually return to his former shape. In a way, this is a symbolic depiction of her frail and untrue love for him, because she can't sympathize enough with him to understand him and keep loving him no matter what he looks like.

2. Mr. Samsa is insensitive from the beginning to the end of the story. He even believes that Gregor turned into a vermin on purpose, to avoid his duty of supporting his family. He doesn't even want to give Gregor a chance to explain what happened. He just wants him out of his sight.</span>

Based on these excerpts, how do the Haida and Maori cultures view the mother-child relationship?
Travka [436]

The Haida and Maori cultures view the mother-child relationship as:

Both view mothers as caring and protective over their children.  


The Haida myth focuses on creating light and people. The Haida creation myth is about a trickster who stole the sun, the moon and the stars in order to bring light to his own world. Even though he created animals, fish, trees, men, and all the creatures, they lived in darkness because he stole light.  

On the other hand, the Maori myth focuses mostly on the relationship between parts of nature. The Maori creation myth tells the story how humans were born and how nature helped in their birth by sacrificing themselves.

Hope it helps.

What is the best summary of this paragraph?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

For the most part of the war, armies preserved old military tactics (fieldwork) of espionage rather than fully adapting to new techniques.

Here's why the other answers are incorrect:

A) "Photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances" in comparison to the previous wars, so A is incorrect. Intelligence was, for the most part, gathered in the same ways it had been previously, but these new technologies were still utilized.

B) Photograph and the telegraph are mentioned, but they are not the main point of the paragraph. Basically, "although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances," this fact is only being mentioned in the paragraph to emphasize the minimal progress of "the means of obtaining military intelligence," as intelligence was often still "gathered in simple ways" only. Armies "still relied on fieldwork." So B is incorrect.

D) Option D only refers to one source of information in the paragraph, "runaway slaves;" it does not fully or efficiently summarize the paragraph.

Curie risked her health for the sake of science.

PART B

"Marie spent many hours boiling down pitchblende in enormous pots...gasping and coughing from the fumes."

Explanation:

The inference that can be made from the text is that Marie Curie risked her health for the sake of science.
