In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.
For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
I think it’s figure of speech lol
Answer:
The Duck will sit silently on the Kangaroo, cover her wet webbed feet with woolen socks, and be on her best behavior, doing nothing but "Quack".
Explanation:
In the story of the Duck and the Kangaroo, a bored Duck wanted to explore the world outside of the pond where she lives. So, she made a request to a Kangaroo to carry her on his back while he hops to different parts.
Although agreeing to the Duck's plan, the Kangaroo had one objection- the Duck's wet, cold feet might affect his joints. So, the duck got woolen socks to cover her wet webbed feet, smoke cigars to keep herself warm, and also use a cloak. Moreover, she also promised to sit quietly on his back and do nothing but "Quack" so that the Kangaroo will feel comfortable.
