The claim of a piece of writing is essentially the same as
its thesis. The thesis, as such, will
generally be presented in the first paragraph (if not the first few lines) of
the text. When we look at the article,
thus, the first paragraph mentions two things:
a gorilla named Little Joe (the hook/attention getter) and that zoos do
a good job at nurturing their animals.
Readers can be safe to assume that the article will cover how zoos do a
good job at nurturing because of how the last sentence within the introductory
paragraph begins with “But less well covered was the very real success…” As such, the claim of this piece is that zoos
succeed at nurturing the animals that live within their walls. Again, it’s important to remember how,
generally, the thesis turns out to be the claim.
David Copperfield, the title of the book, should be italicized.

Answer:
C. The cross bridge would move the actin filaments towards the center of the myosin.
Explanation:
Contraction of a muscle is a process in which the sarcomere shortens after being adequately stimulated.
Two main proteins involved in this process are actin and myosin. In a state of relaxation, they are not binded, because their binding places are blocked. After the stimulation, these binding places are free, so the two proteins bind and form the cross bridge.
Now, actin filaments slide from one to another binding places along the length of a myosin fibers, like a paddle of the boat across the water.
Note that during this process actin and myosin don't change their length; the sarcomere shortens because the actin filaments slide towards the center of the myosin fibers.
