Answer:

The allusion to Midas reveals the differences in ages between the speaker and the chaperon. This allusion is higlighted in the explanation

Explanation:

And as those aged crickets chirp,

I watch my chaperon's face,

And see the<u> dear old features take </u>

A<em> new and tender grace</em>;

And in her happy eyes I see

<u>Her youth awakening bright,</u>

With all its hope, desire, delight--

Ah, me! <u>I wish that I were quite </u>

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The best definition of "scrub suit" is: a protective item of clothing.

A clue to the meaning of "scrub suit" is: <em>She took off all her clothes, put on a long-sleeved scrub suit, and stood before the door that led inward, blue light falling on her face. She passes security levels before putting the suit on.</em>

Explanation:

A <em>scrub suit</em> refers to the sanitary clothes worn by doctors and another hospital stuff while performing and assisting a medical intervention or operation.

In the excerpt, we can notice that the writer uses this term in order to describe preparations of a doctor before passing through the door with a sensor which led to the operation room.

Imagine there was a shipwreck. You are stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger. Both of you are hungry and thirsty. You fear the tig
Triss [41]

Answer and Explanation:

You: I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're thinking of eating me.

Tiger: That's true. I am indeed.

You: Well, I'd like to advise you against that. If you eat me, your chances of surviving afterwards will diminish.

Tiger: I doubt that. If I eat you, I will gain strength. Consequently, I'll be able to survive for a few more days. That might be enough for a ship to show up and rescue me.

You: That reasoning is good, but flawed. Yes, you will gain strength that will last for a few days. However, if a ship does not show up in a few days, you will die. Fishing is not one of your abilities as a tiger, so you won't catch anything to eat after devouring me. Also, if a ship does show up, the crew may very well be afraid of taking you with them for fear that you might attack and eat them.

Tiger: I see... go on.

You: If you keep me alive, we will solve all of those issues. I can fish for the both of us. We'll both maintain our strength until a ship shows up, even if it takes long. When that happens, they will certainly take us in. I will vouch for you, letting them know you were civilized enough not to eat me. Therefore, they can trust you not to eat them.

Tiger: I see your point, and it is a good one. I promise not to eat you if you promise to keep your word.

You: I promise. We have a deal.
