Answer:

Cleopatra.

Explanation:

The quote "<em>Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed</em>" was said by the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It was part of the posthumously edited writings of Pascal in 1669 titled "Pensees/ Thoughts".

According to the belief of ancient times and also the seventeenth century belief, a person's physiognomy plays an important role in determining the character of that person. A large nose, like that of Cleopatra's, signify the dominance and strength of the person. If not for her, then there wouldn't have been the fall of Caesar or Antony, the great men of Rome. This would have stopped them from falling under her spell, thus averting the many wars and conflicts that changed the history of the world.

Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World starts with an introduction to a state in which the authorities try to control society by

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The idea of controlling humans through biological engineering is an example of

B) dystopian

context with an extreme form of state control. Such a context fits in the genre of science fiction because

B) depends on technology to create the world.

Explanation:

Dystopian literature came as a response to utopian fiction. While a utopia concerns the perfect world, dystopian settings present lack of humanity, excessive control and violence, often justified by the government as being the means to achieve the greater good. That is the type of reality presented in "Brave New World". Human beings are no longer free to choose. They are no longer free to even be born. They are created in labs, where their function in life is already predetermined. Some are created to be highly intelligent while others are meant to be slow in order to perform menial jobs.

This is a perfect fit for the science-fiction genre. This type of genre relies heavily in the possible destructive influence of technology over our lives. The story is often set in the future, when a much more advanced society depends completely on technology to function and survive. In "Brave New World", control comes through technology. It is the means to create as well as destroy life.
