I assume that you are referring to Neil deGrasse Tyson's article. I would say the correct answer is <span>B. Scientists do not claim to have special powers. Tyson argues that the only way we can really have an insight into the world around us is not through our five senses, much less through what parapsychologists call the sixth sense. It is through scientific analysis and apparatus that science has created - through the hardware - that we get to know precisely what happens around us. Our senses even hinder our knowledge, creating false impressions about the outside world. It is true that there is so much more in the world than we can see or hear; but parapsychology is not the way to assess the truth. Science is.

As for C and D options, here's why I think they are wrong. The fact that some people profess to hear and see things others cannot is not the central thesis of this article. It doesn't explain why parapsychology is nonsense; it just defines it. And Tyson doesn't refer to any particular experiments that have shown that parapsychology is nonsense.</span>

In the article, the author - Neil de Grasse Tyson discusses parapsychology and writes that comparing it with real science is absurd because there is no way to support the sixth sense in humans. He notes that our senses are limited and scientific knowledge is needed to prove the theories. The correct answer is D.

The pun for old skiers never die they just go down hill
vredina [299]
Your question is very vague and therefore hard to understand but I would assume you are asking for the explanation of the pun.
This phrase is a pun because skiers ski down slopes, and going down hill is another way of saying not going very well. Old skiers never die, they just go down hill is a pun because skiers go down hills.

How are the traditional expectations of women In today's society different from the roles of the women in the Black Panther's Do
Sever21 [200]

<em>Women in our society especially in tradition for most countries and places like (Asia specifically Philippines, Japan etc), they are expected to be not more of a fighter but rather, domesticated people who must stay at home to tend to their family needs. Women should also expected to get married, be faithful and loyal to their husbands and take good care of the whole family. They must also learn different house chores and is not required to finish studies. You can refer to traditional asian movies to see this. Women in Black Panther's movie are very much different. They can decide to follow their heart's desire. They are much more of a fighter rather than traditional women we know. They know how to handle weapons and they are very skilled when it comes to combat and defense stance.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This is not the first time that creators of Marvel have made women as a symbol of strength. In fact, they have many superheroes based on the comics who are stronger than male superheroes. Like Captain Marvel, for example. Her portrayal in the movie and in the the comics, she seemed to be one of the strongest female superheroes. In fact, she is almost equivalent to Thanos, one the supervillains of all time. The writers like it this way because they are planning to make more movies and involve more interesting story line and characters in the future. The same idea goes for making female body guards rather than male body guards. Writers can insert more spice to the story for choosing female characters. Lastly, there are write ups are saying that the Dora Milaje is based on real-life female army. To give viewers the impression of women empowerment. </em>
