Answer:

The agencies being referred in Rachel Carson's <em>"Silent Spring"</em> are the state and federal agencies.

They are being reduced to the "so-called control agencies" because they don't really know much about the <em>effects of chemical insecticides</em> and how <em>potentially dangerous </em>they are to living things, yet they are the ones who allow its distribution to people.<u> They control the insects in the world</u> by allowing spraying operations, however they don't have any idea on how much damage they are causing to the world. Carson reduced this agencies <u>because they were spreading </u><u><em>"misinformation."</em></u>

Explanation:

"Silent Spring" was a book that stirred the public's attention. It talks about the bad effects of using chemical pesticides to the environment. Many critics opposed the book, yet it was able to move the Congress. This resulted to the operation of the Environmental Protection Agency in <em>1970.</em>

taurus [48]

The inaccurate perception that makes Alice respond to the word "mom" is known as perceptual expectancy.

<h3>What is perceptual expectancy?</h3>

Perceptual expectancy is a set is a series of expectations in psychology that affect experience by making people hypersensitive to certain types of information.

It is a predisposition that makes people view objects in a given manner and can be found in all the variety of senses.

Alice thought it was her daughter that called her because she has been accustomed to and she has registered the way her daughter usually calls her. Thus, this inaccurate perception makes Alice respond to the word "mom" only to realize that the sales clerk said "ma'am" to a customer.
