Answer:
Exposure of the bananas to the apple (and its ethylene) instigated their ripening.
Explanation:
A truck driver is transporting a load of unripe bananas in an airtight vehicle and decides to stop and eat an apple after checking on his cargo. He opens the back of his truck and, while walking around the unripe bananas, he decides the apple is overripe and drops it in the truck.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Words and gestures people use to express thoughts, the monetary and credit system, even the architecture of some buildings were created before we were born. Indeed, these example show us that social facts __________.
a. do not originate with the people experiencing them.
b. live only within our conscious minds.
c. are rarely imposed upon us.
d. All of the above statements are TRUE regarding social facts.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter a. do not originate with the people experiencing them.
Explanation:
Social facts go beyond each individual. They are norms, traditions, rules, any type of collective and shared thought or idea that influences people's behaviors. When we are born, social facts are already imposed on us. We grow up learning how to behave according to what society considers to be appropriate. Social facts are found everywhere, even in the governmental system of our country, or the gestures people use to express their feelings. Therefore, they do no originate with us, the people who are experiencing them, but begin at a moment prior to ourselves.
