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.

Why orchestras are seeing dwindling audiences?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

For many orchestras, the traditional subscriber base is declining. It is important for orchestras to understand why people become subscribers so that this market segment can be replaced. This exploratory research was designed to ascertain the age of first concert attendance and motivation for first concert attendance for two audience groups of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. The two groups were (1) subscribers, and (2) audience members who did not subscribe and had no other involvement with the orchestra. The responses to questions on age and motivation were compared in an attempt to understand why some individuals became subscribers while others attended concerts but did not become further involved with the orchestra. The hypothesis was that subscribers started to attend while young and that early exposure resulted in continued and frequent attendance throughout life.

What is a common theme in many of Franz Kafka's stories?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]


In many of Franz Kafka's stories, he utilizes the theme of (C) Alienation.

He talks about alienation from society, from others around us and even from our true self. He sees society as something which alienates us from our own selves and does not serve as a sustenance to nourish our true identities.
