Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs

when the body’s internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it’s too late. To make matters worse, children's bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill.
2 While it doesn’t look much different than the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested these capsules send an internal body temperature reading to a portable device that is like a Palm Pilot. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete’s body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

3 While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive. On average the cost is $50.00 per pill. However, many parents of young athletes say that it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it gives them on a hot, sultry day.

What additional information would contribute to the validity of the ideas presented in this article?

A)
research data about this new thermometer pill


B)
more information about the effects of heatstroke


C)
the names of doctors who prescribe thermometer pills
Eliminate

D)

<span>A) research data about this new thermometer pill 

The article states that "these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective". However, the article doesn't prove this statement at true. Throughout the article, it explains the effects of heatstroke (death, organs shutting down...) so more information about this is unneeded to increase the article's effectiveness. Including data about the thermometer pill working and how it has saved athletes lives, would add credibility to the author's statement that they are effective.

Read this passage from “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury:
seropon [69]

A. the absence of people suggests that something is very wrong with society.

All of the options are true statements. To answer this question it is important to look at what the question is asking. The key words in the question are impact and setting. Option B talks about the setting when it describes the weeds in the pavement, but this does not really have any profound impact on the story. Option C tells us about the temperature of the setting but it doesn't have any overall impact. Option D is more about characterization than it is about setting. Option A is the only one that has an overall impact on the setting. It introduces the society as dystopian.

allen says people who support burners might note an irony in my argument explain what allen means using details from the editori
Alex73 [517]

The dissenters in the flag-burning case and their supporters might at this juncture note an irony in my argument. My point is that freedom of conscience and expression is at the core of our self-conception and that commitment to it requires the rejection of official dogma. But how is that admittedly dogmatic belief different from any other dogma, such as the one inferring that freedom of expression stops at the border of the flag?

The crucial distinction is that the commitment to freedom of conscience and expression states the simplest and least self-contradictory principle that seems to capture our aspirations. Any other principle is hopelessly at odds with our commitment to freedom of conscience. The controversy surrounding the flag-burning case makes the case well.

The controversy will rage precisely because burning the flag is such a powerful form of communication. Were it not, who would care? Thus were we to embrace a prohibiton on such communication, we would be saying that the 1st Amendment protects expression only when no one is offended. That would mean that this aspect of the 1st Amendment would be of virtually no consequence. It would protect a person only when no protection was needed. Thus, we do have one official dogma-each American may think and express anything he wants. The exception is expression that involves the risk of injury to others and the destruction of someone else`s property. Neither was present in this case.
