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.

What impression do we get of Sheila and Gerald,s relationship
Vlad1618 [11]

Gerald thinks that nothing much has really changed in his relationship with Sheila. Yet he's deluding himself. He may not have changed, alright, but things between him and Sheila most certainly have. Although genuinely moved by the death of Alice Renton (a.k.a. Eva Smith), he cannot emerge beneath the shadow of his domineering father. He knows that without his father's money he simply won't be able to make it on his own.
