The similarity between modern vampire myths and what people like William of Newburgh talked about in the past is that fire can kill vampires. Furthermore, the author claims that there is a biological explanation for the physical characteristics of vampires.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- "Cursed by a Bite" is the text that shows how Matt Kaplan researched ways to explain the myths about vampires and werewolves.
- For that reason, he studied the way vampires were portrayed in the past and present and studied the reasons for these myths to exist.
- During this research, he realized that a similarity between past and present myths was the ability of fire to harm vampires.
He also realized that the physical characteristics that vampires exhibit have a biological explanation and are associated with how a human organism reacts after death. Based on this, the author explains that:
- The bloated and deformed bodies of vampires are inspired by the work of bacteria after a human dies. This is because, after death, bacteria begin to act on the body and release gases that swell and deform the body.
- The bloody mouth of vampires is inspired by the fact that, after a person dies, the accumulation of gas in the lung forces blood out through the trachea and mouth, leaving the teeth bloodless.
- The claw-like nails and fang-like teeth that vampires display are inspired by the fact that, after death, the tissues of the human body wither and shrink, which makes the nails and teeth more prominent.

Answer:
D. "Oh sweetheart, you must be the first kid ever who cheated to make his temperature lower."
Explanation:
'Snow Day' is a short story written by W.M. Akers. The story is about Ned, who is suffering from a high fever and it is a snow day– rare and never to be missed.
As Ned sees outside his window other children playing in the snow, he also dresses in the snow day clothes. But his mother stopped her from going outside. Ned is desperate to go outside and play so tried to cheat with his temperature by putting a thermometer in a glass filled with ice cubes. So, this evidence supports the conclusion that Ned was desperate to play outside in the snow.
Therefore, option D is correct.
