Answer:
A.Mad cow disease ended because of government bans on feeding cows certain foods, but people were angry that governments did not act sooner.
Explanation:
The text explains that the disease was identified in 1986. Seven years later, in 1993, the disease had reached an epidemic level and was causing huge losses to the farmers and panic among the consumers.
In 1997, governments banned some food for the bovines and the epidemic was quickly controlled afterwards. By 2010, the disease had largely disappeared.
The farmers are angry that the governments didn't help them earlier and the consumers are angry they were put at risk.
When the princess is discovered with a lover who is of lower status than she is, the king holds a trial where the princess's lover must choose between two doors. One door will have a tiger behind it, and the other door will have a woman who is a worthy match for the man. The princess knows what is behind each door, and when the man looks to her for help, she gestures towards one of the doors. However, the audience does not know which door she tells him to pick. If she picks the one with the woman behind it, it would mean she loves the man enough to let him go and live, even if it is with another woman. If she chooses the door with the tiger behind it, it means she could not bear to see him with anyone else, and decided it was better for him to die. Hope this helps.
