Answer:

The correct answer is - 10³ seconds.

Explanation:

The nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which fluctuation in membrane potential occurs and forms an electrical signal that takes place that travels along the axon to the synapses.

Suppose a nerve impulse starts only when the first impulse ends according to the question so the one impulse last for the 10⁻³ second or 1 ms.

Thus, the nerve impulse fires per second will be equal to impulse generate in each second which is 1/10⁻³ = 10³.

Thus, the correct answer is - 10³ impulse per second or 1000 impulse per second.

<h3>What is a Book Review?</h3>

This refers to the literary analysis of a book to show the content and to convince people to read or to write criticisms about it.

Hence, we can see that from the given book review, the reviewer notes the content of the book and how it is of high quality, and his word choice such as "colorful characters", "exciting action sequences", etc helps to create ethos.
