In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.
For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.

Believe it or not, yes! This is a true fact and I encourage trying it if you want proof! ;p
Answer:
B
Explanation:
It really depends on what was underlined. There are two possibilities.
- I think that not a single peace loving State could decline a peace treaty with a neighboring State even though the latter was headed by such fiends and cannibals as Hitler and Ribbentrop.
- Non-aggression pacts are pacts of peace between two States. It was such a pact that Germany proposed to us in 1939.
The first one is irony of the highest order. Though Stalin was correct in his assessment of Hitler and Ribbentrop, he didn't include himself (who may have been the worst of the three), in his description.
The second one is just a definition of what a non-aggression pact was.
I would pick B. The real problem is what is underlined. B is the truth. It was actually Hitler's plan to invade Russia long before it happened. Not only that, he was so confident of victory that he did not order his textile industry to make protective clothing when he did invade Russia. He thought it would be over in Russia long before such clothing was needed.
The answer is "atmophere". This word does not have a "s" in it, like atmosphere.
