Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping

the blade well away from her gloved fingers. The spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. She did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. She had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. If the animal had died of Ebola, this was not a clear case. She opened up the intestine. There was no blood inside it. The gut looked okay. Then she examined the stomach. There she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. This could be a sign of Ebola, but it was not a clear sign. It could also be a sign of simian fever, not Ebola. Therefore, she could not confirm the presence of Ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph?
a. It is difficult to identify Ebola in dead specimens.
b. Performing a necropsy is a tedious procedure.
c. Signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar.
d. Ebola has unusual effects on infected monkeys.

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that the signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar: <em>This could be a sign of Ebola, but it was not a clear sign. It could also be a sign of simian fever, not Ebola</em>. Although she found some bleeding spots between the stomach and the small intestine, it could also be considered as a sign of simian fever.

What type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Municipal Gallery Revisited"? My mediaeval knee
Arlecino [84]
Hello, the answer here would be "slant rhyme". It cannot be a "strict rhyme" because it is not strict, the rhyme changes throughout the poem, it doesn't follow the same scheme. It isn't "internal rhyme" as well, because the words don't rhyme within a single line. It isn't a "double rhyme" because these are all monosyllabic words (one syllable) and for it to be a double rhyme there needs to be at least to syllables in a word. So the only option is "slant rhyme", which isn't exactly rhyming, for example, "dear" and "door" would be considered slant rhyme.

PIT_PIT [208]
In the essay Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1784 about Native Americans, titled “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America”, he stated that the Native Americans were called savages “because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs.” The theme of empathy is seen in Franklin’s essay, as he encouraged seeing the other person’s point of view in dealing with the Native Americans. In highlighting the similarity of how Native Americans conduct their public councils to how order is maintained in the British House of Commons, he promoted the value of respect for diversity.

Tomtit [17]

Answer: it helps create uneasiness

Explanation: because the author briefly describes a group of people as gangsters and heavily implies they surveil a zone to find people who can be easily robbed after only a small attempt of gaining their trust. They accomplish this implication only describing their actions without plainly stating that they are indeed bad people, it's the characterization that helps the reader make the connection.
