It is often thought that our own modern age is unique in having a large number of people who live into old age. It has frequentl

y been assumed that plagues, wars, and harsh working conditions killed off most people in previous ages before they could reach old age. However, recent research shows that in 17th century Europe, for example, people over sixty comprised 10 percent of the population. The studies also revealed that although infant mortality remained high until the 20th century in Europe, people who survived to adulthood could expect to live to be old.

Answer:

I think it's E

Explanation:

When reading the passage, we understand that the author opposes the first sentence. The second sentence would effectively validate the first statement if it were correct, in which case, it would make the author's point invalid.

A is not correct because the author does not support the first idea.

B is not correct because although the author actually contests the first sentence, the author does not accept the findings in the following sentence.

C is not correct since the author thinks the first sentence is invalid, but the second sentence does not validate that sentence.

D is not correct since both the first and second sentences oppose the author's opinion.

Which of the following is not a way in which the hormone method of birth control prevents pregnancy
arlik [135]

Answer:

Sometimes ovaries release extra eggs.

Explanation:

Birth control or the pill is a pill that's taken on a daily basis and it contains hormones (estrogen and progesterone), in order to change the way the body works and prevent unwanted pregnancies. In this case, the pill controls ovaries and uterus. Most of the pills are mixed pills and work in order to prevent ovulation ( releasing egg during monthly circle ). While on the pill, a woman can't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized. It also thickens the mucus around the cervix and makes it difficult for sperm to get to the uterus and <em>reach any extra eggs that may have been released</em>. The hormones in the pill sometimes also affect the lining of the uterus and make it hard for <em>an egg to get attached to the wall of the uterus.</em>
