This question is about the article "Choosing a Warning Label for Human DNA"
Answer and Explanation:
The author presents two types of optimists regarding how other planets and other species would receive samples that would promote the existence of human beings on these planets.
One of the optimists says that it would be necessary to inform the "extraterrestrials" that they received our species, that we are highly dangerous, invasive and that we have a strong potential for destruction. This optimist believes that this would place us as great warriors and necessary beings when problems arise.
However, another type of optimist, prefers to show our sense of community, our delicacy, sentimentality and kindness. Showing our hosts that we are complex beings, but capable of loving and being loved.
In view of this reading, we can see that the author fits into the second group of optimists, because he stimulated our most intimate nature, showing that if it is stimulated, it can overcome our negative points.
Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.
Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.
Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.
The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.
Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.
Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.
Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.
Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
From all of the remarks provided, it could be assumed that Emma was extremely privileged in terms of social rank in life (being affluent), as well as having a loving father and a governess who loves Emma so much to the point that she couldn't offer her any constraint. Emma's mistaken faith in her powers as a matchmaker and her prudish dread of love are at the heart of the narrative, which follows her missteps and developing self-understanding as a result of having these things and people around her.
Descriptive words. Bring them into the mood. Not sure if that's the
exact word they would look for, but that's what I've been told.
There should be more to this so I can answer question
