The example that Alan Weisman gives at the beginning of the chapter to contrast the power of humans with the power of nature is the collapse of the World trade center. Option D is correct.

Alan Weisman on his book "The world without us" offers an overview on how humans are causing highly and increasing negative effect on nature.

In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman provides an utterly original approach to questions of humanity's impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us.

Which lines from the text best help to develop the theme that people who have little in common can become friends?
Mariana [72]

The answers are:

"Jordyn the jock was not as bad as I thought she would be when I first learned we’d been paired to lead the cabin of eight-year-olds."

"By the second week of camp, I realized I actually liked Mariah a lot more than I’d expected to."

The lines help to develop the theme that people who have little in common can become friends because both caracters admit that they have made previous judgements before getting to know each other. However, after sharing and going through certain circumstances, they realize that they actually like each other.

a contingency break; inattentional blindness

This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.
