In English, the past is described as "behind" and the future "ahead," whereas in Aymara the past is "ahead" and the future "behi

nd." Research indicates that English speakers sway backward when discussing the past and forward when discussing the future. Conversely, Aymara speakers gesture forward with their hands when discussing the past and backward when discussing the future. These bodily movements, therefore, suggest that the language one speaks affects how one mentally visualizes time.
The linguist's reasoning depends on assuming which of the following?

A. At least some Aymara speakers sway forward when discussing the past and backward when discussing the future.
B. Most people mentally visualize time as running either forward or backward.
C. Not all English and Aymara speakers tend to sway or gesture forward or backward when discussing the present.
D. How people move when discussing the future correlates to some extent with how they mentally visualize time.
E. The researchers also examined the movements of at least some speakers of languages other than English and Aymara discussing the past and the future.

Answer:

A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It was first published in French in 1864, then reissued in 1867 in a revised and expanded edition. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is the tale's central figure, an eccentric German scientist who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the very center of the earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans rappel into Iceland's celebrated inactive volcano then contend with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric creatures from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. (The 1867 revised edition inserted additional prehistoric material in Chaps. 37–39.) Eventually the three explorers are spewed back to the surface by an active volcano, Stromboli, in southern Italy.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

D. Algernon pokes fun at the fact that marriage in his society often is based on social rules, not romance.

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around a wealthy gentleman Algernon Moncrieff and his friend John Worthing. The story delves into themes of society, love, social status and the unnecessary belief in their alter egos' world that enables them to enjoy their lives.

In the given dialogue between the two men, Algernon seemed critical of Jack's decision to marry Gwendoline. For, according to Algy, love is <em>"business"</em> and something which Jack feels is <em>"unromantic".</em> But as Algy had rightly said, and considering 19th century England's society, it is only right to assume that marriage is a matter of social class rather than romance or love.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
