The test organism ferments sucrose best under reduced oxygen conditions.
The sample was incubated less than 24 hours, which allowed for only limited fermentation.
The media was contaminated.
The organism is an obligate aerobe and therefore can only grow inside the Durham tube.
The media was prepared wrong.
The organism is limited in its ability to ferment sucrose. Since diffusion is restricted within the Durham tube and it contains only a small volume of media, it turned yellow first.
The test organism did not ferment sucrose.
1)The test organism ferments sucrose best under reduced oxygen conditions.
2)The sample was incubated less than 24 hours, which allowed for only limited fermentation.
3)The organism is limited in its ability to ferment sucrose. Since diffusion is restricted within the Durham tube and it contains only a small volume of media, it turned yellow first.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The labeling theory refers to a self-fulfilling prophecy construct where if you define someone as something then they will become that thing. In this instance, defining Samantha as a thief would make her become a thief.
In answer A, Samantha would be labeled as a criminal in need of prison and, under the labeling theory, would be in the mindset of becoming a criminal.
In answer B, Samantha's parents would be labeling her as a thief and their lack of trust for her would lead to Samantha continuing to engage in thievery.
In answer C, Samantha's friends would be labeling her as a thief and, yet again, Samantha would feel as though she is one.
In answer E, Samantha's teachers keeping an eye on her infers that Samantha cannot be trusted and is not healthy for Samantha's evaluation of herself. Again, this would only lead to her stealing again under the labeling theory.
Answer D is the only answer which is constructive and rehabilitative, the goal of the labeling theory.
