Answer:
B. Denied any wrongdoing and tried to blame the motives of their critics
Explanation:
According to "Food Nation," manure gets into the meat at slaughterhouses because the stomachs and intestines of animals are not discarded correctly, and the knives of slaughterhouse workers are not cleaned often enough. As a result, after the E.coli epidemic 1992, inspectors would test each case of meat delivered to restaurants for the existence of pathogens.
The prefix is "ad-" meaning "increase"
That would be a dramatic monologue. :)
Hope I helped!
Answer:
From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
