Answer:
B and D.
Explanation:
'Bumps ahead on easy Street?' is an article written by Marilyn Gardner. The article talks about Charlotte County in Florida which has become an alluring place for retirees to spend their lives.
The County is situated between two western coasts of the state, that is Sarasota and Naples. This view has made the County more attractive for retirees. The weather conditions during winter are warm in the County than northern states.
<u>The idea that supports the claim that Charlotte County has become an attractive place for retirees in paragraph 1 of the text is that it is situated close to beaches and water, and the weather is warmer in the County than northern states</u>.
Thus two options that are correct includes B and D.

Answer and Explanation:
1. In short, the texts claim that people overcome adversity with resilience. However, resilience is difficult to understand. The texts show how the word "resilience" has become fashionable in recent years, but few people really know them, because very few people needed it.
2. Resilience allows people to face reality, realize that they cannot change it, but have positivity. Positivity is very difficult to establish in a time of adversity, but it must be encouraged, as it shows that this moment will pass and that it is necessary to be strong to pass it.
The last option is correct. The passage uses a specific example, but the main idea of the passage is that the systems in our body are connected, so laughter (because it’s a sign of happiness) can relieve stress and boost our immune system.
Answer:
The idea of controlling humans through biological engineering is an example of
B) dystopian
context with an extreme form of state control. Such a context fits in the genre of science fiction because
B) depends on technology to create the world.
Explanation:
Dystopian literature came as a response to utopian fiction. While a utopia concerns the perfect world, dystopian settings present lack of humanity, excessive control and violence, often justified by the government as being the means to achieve the greater good. That is the type of reality presented in "Brave New World". Human beings are no longer free to choose. They are no longer free to even be born. They are created in labs, where their function in life is already predetermined. Some are created to be highly intelligent while others are meant to be slow in order to perform menial jobs.
This is a perfect fit for the science-fiction genre. This type of genre relies heavily in the possible destructive influence of technology over our lives. The story is often set in the future, when a much more advanced society depends completely on technology to function and survive. In "Brave New World", control comes through technology. It is the means to create as well as destroy life.
