Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone and the summary that follows it.

Answer: A) Remove the phrase “It is petrifying” because it expresses a personal feeling and D) Add the phrase “and spread throughout the human species” to the end of the statement to more fully express the central idea.

Explanation: When writing a summary of the central idea of a text, we have to express the ideas in a brief and clear way, without including personal opinions or irrelevant details. In the given paragraph from "The Hot Zone" we can see that the main idea is that viruses can "come alive" even after death, and spread throughout the human species, so to improve the given summary we should remove the phrase “It is petrifying” because it expresses a personal feeling (and it is not objective) and also add the phrase “and spread throughout the human species” to the end of the statement because it is an important part of the main idea.

Consider Tim O’Brien’s story "Ambush." What differences do you see between how O’Brien dealt with killing an enemy soldier in th
Firlakuza [10]
<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>
