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? It is difficult to identify Ebola in dead specimens. Performing a necropsy is a tedious procedure. Signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar. Ebola has unusual effects on infected monkeys. Mark this and return

The central idea of this paragraph from <em>The Hot Zone</em> is C) Signs of Simian fever and Ebola can be similar. This idea is clear when the author states that "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." The author also makes several statements that her finding while dissecting the specimen were not clear signs of Ebola. Thus the reason for the monkeys death could have been Ebola but it also could have been Simian fever.

What's the relationship between Mites and Hermit Crabs?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one party benefits and the other party is not significantly affected. A hermit crab takes over a discarded shell of a snail and uses it for his house. The hermit crab benefits and the snail are not affected - it's already discarded the shell and is nowhere around.

It was unusual for women during Kate Chopin's time to be independent. Through her portrayal of Louise in "The Story of an Hour,"
MArishka [77]
<span>The question given above is incomplete, the options are not given. The options attached to the question are written below:

A. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

B. She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

C. There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.

D. Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.

ANSWER
The correct option is C.
The statement given in option C explains the new situation in which Mallard's wife find herself after she was told that her husband was involved in a train accident. It is obvious that she had been living for her husband before now and he was the one that was in full control of her will, she was totally dependent on him. But now, she has just gain back her freedom and she is now free to follow the dictates of her own heart and will and not that of someone else. That is true independence.</span>
