Answer:

B. A female, partly human creature in Greek mythology, known for luring sailors to their destruction through tempting song.

Explanation:

Sirens are known for luring sailors to destruction, and the temptation to ignore the truth, as Paine says, will "transform us into beasts," or lead us to our destruction.

A sequence{an} is given by a1=sqrt(2), an+1=sqrt(2+an).
MrMuchimi
It is clear that a(n)=2^(1-2^(-n)). In fact, for n=1 this produces 2^(1-1/2)=sqrt(2)=a1 and if it is true for a(n) then a(n+1) = sqrt (2 * 2^(1-2^(-n))) = sqrt(2^(2-2^(-n))) = 2^(1-2^(-(n+1))) (a) clearly 2^(1-2^(-n))<2<3 so the sequence is bounded by 3. Also a(n+1)/a(n) = 2^(1-2^(-n-1) - 1+2^(-n)) = 2^(1/2^n - 1/2^(n+1)) = 2^(1/2^(n+1)) >1 so the sequence is monotonically increasing. As it is monotonically increasing and has an upper bound it means it has a limin when n-> oo (b) 1-1/2^n -> 1 as n->oo so 2^(1-2^(-n)) -> 2 as n->oo
