Answer:
A) The correct answer is C) the mistake helpfully reveals the way Azy's mind works.
B) The correct option is D) "Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."
Explanation:
A) Azy - an Orangutan in captivity which is being used for experiments in the behaviour of primates, especially learning, is presented with a bag containing food.
Azy is given options on a screen to select from, and instead of picking food, he picks another symbol which represents a container.
According to the researchers, the right answer would have been the symbol which connotes food. However, Shumaker is elated to note that the Orangutans have the ability to put things into categories.
B) In the last paragraph of the excerpt, Shumaker states that in his opinion, the mistake shows that Azy in his mind is learning or can put objects into categories and that that by itself could be a pointer to how Orangutans think.
Cheers
Answer:
- Sir Gawain - <em>the hero on a quest
</em>
- Bertilak's Wife - <em>the temptress
</em>
- Morgan Le Faye - <em>the trickster
</em>
- Bertilak of Hautdesert - <em>the hospitable host </em>
Explanation:
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a story written in 14th-century England about romance and chivalry. Some of the characters were;
Sir Gawain who was the nephew of King Arthur and one of his best and most loyal knights who prided himself on being chivalrous. He was the hero on a quest but by the end of the quest he was a humbled man who did not believe that he can ever be the man he wished to be.
Bertilak's wife was a temptress who tried to seduce Sir Gawain three times during his stay at the castle where he spends Christmas. She is presented as a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Morgan Le Faye was the trickster who controlled the events of the poem in the hope that she could cause much discord for her half-brother King Arthur and his kingdom.
Finally, Bertilak of Hautdesert was the hospitable host who was Lord of the castle where Sir Gawain would spend Christmas. He was powerful and generous and exuded the courteousness of an aristocrat. In the end it is revealed that he infact was the Green Knight.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Dispatches.
By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.
Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?
a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.
b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.
c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.
d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.
Answer:
The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:
a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.
Explanation:
<u>A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be </u><u>absurd</u><u>. </u>We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.
The correct answer is C, as an air mass changes the weather of the area over which it moves.
An air mass is defined as a large portion of air, with a horizontal extension of several hundred kilometers, whose physical properties, especially temperature, moisture content and vertical temperature gradient, are more or less uniform.
Between two air masses fronts are formed, which can have different temperatures.
The cold front is a band of instability that occurs when a mass of cold air approaches a hot air mass. The cold air, being more dense, generates a "wedge" and gets under warm and less dense air.
The cold fronts move quickly. They are strong and can cause atmospheric disturbances such as thunderstorms, squalls, tornadoes, strong winds and short snowstorms before the cold front passes, accompanied by dry conditions as the front advances.
The warm front is the front of a warm air mass that moves to replace a cold air mass. Generally, with the passage of the warm front the temperature and humidity increase, the pressure drops and although the wind changes it is not as pronounced as when a cold front passes.
An occluded front is formed when a slower moving hot front is followed by a cold front with faster displacement. The cold wedge-shaped front reaches the hot front and pushes it upwards. The two fronts continue moving one behind the other and the line between them is what forms the occluded front.
Finally the stationary front is a limit between two air masses, of which none is strong enough to replace the other.
