The correct answer is “His desire to explore is greater than his fear of where he is going”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the <u>Place of the Gods</u>, also called <u>The Dead Place</u>. This place was destroyed by a great burning. Moreover, the Place of the Gods was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. The place was described as a desolate one and nature has taken over it. Even though the place was forbidden and scary, John embarks on a journey to unravel its mysteries. <u>He does not fear its scary atmosphere</u>, since his insatiable quest for knowledge is far more important.

Read the following scene from Trifles.
ZanzabumX [31]

Well, we can eliminate B because there are very few plays where they read out the stage directions. This play just by reading it wouldn't be one of them. So, B is now eliminated.

C can be eliminated too. The volume seems to stay calm throughout all of the passage.

D I feel we can eliminate too.

Therefore A is your best answer.

Hope this helps!

Schmeck followed up on an article with another one titled "Critics Say Coffee Study Was Flawed." List three potential sources of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

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.
