The options attached to the above question are given below:
A) The boys at first were very polite about my medals and asked me what I had done to get them.
B) I showed them the papers which were written in very beautiful language of full of fratellanza and abnegazione but which really said with the adjectives removed that I had been given the medals because I was an American.
C) after that their manner change a little toward me although I was their friend against Outsiders
D) I was afraid but I was never really one of them after they had read the citation because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals.
E) I had been wounded it was true but we all knew being wounded after all was really an accident.
ANSWER
The correct option is D.
In the statement given in option D, it can be seen that the speaker was formerly a soldier, who had fought in a war and had been awarded a medal to that effect. But despite knowing about this meritorious service that he had rendered to his country and the award he was given, he was not really accepted as an inner person by the group of people that was refereed to in the statement. They did not think much of him.
Answer:
An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause: Colds and runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Most sore throats (except strep throat) Flu.
Answer:
B (active transport using ATP)
Explanation:
Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.
In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).
An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
