Answer:
Find the experiences below.
Explanation:
To begin with, alternative medicine is a form of treatment believed by its users to be effective but has no scientific credibility. My friends and family have resorted to the use of alternative medicine. Below are two experiences.
1. My Mother: Six years ago, my mother suffered a fracture on her leg. She believed that traditional bone fixers could help her. There, she was given herbal medicine in the form of roots and leaves soaked in some liquid to release the healing potentials and thus strengthen her bones. They also regularly massaged her legs in a bid to fix the bones but this resulted in more pains and inflammation for her. It took the intervention of medical doctors who specialized in bones to perform surgery on her and fix the broken bones.
2. My Friend: My friend who suffered from convulsions was believed by traditional healers to be under the influence of demons or spiritual powers. A traditional healer tried to heal her by touching her on the forehead to release some energy into her. This practice known as Reiki did not sustainably relieve my friend from her illness.
3. Me: When I suffered severe pains as a teenager, healers tried to heal me through acupuncture. They will insert clean needles into parts of my body to stimulate healing. I believed that this practice was effective.
B.) She used a double meaning to confuse her mother. I just did a whole unit on Romeo and Juliet...

<span>Q1: The ability of an ecosystem to recover from damage.
In the text, it says "the resiliency of the reefs". From this we know that resiliency is a trait that the reefs have. In the next sentence, we see the context clues that define resiliency when it states "reefs bounce back-even flourish." When someone or something bounces back it recovers and returns to it's previous state.
Q2: to inform readers about how the coral reefs are being destroyed AND to convince readers that practices that destroy coral reefs must be stopped.
It is a "Check All That Apply" so more than one answer can be chosen. The passage title is "Save the Coral Reefs" and the selection ends with the sentence "More can be done now to help the coral reefs bounce back". These clues tell the reader that the author's purpose is to save the reefs. In order to do this the author needs to first explain how the reefs are being destroyed. Then convince readers to save the reefs by stopping the practices that destroy them.
Q3: "could help save" and "unsubstantiated risks".
It is important to pay attention to the question here. It is asking for phrases that support safety - not necessarily nutrition. A pixie stick is safe to eat, but not nutritious. The phrase "could help save" supports the idea that it is safe because it is being defined as possibly life and eye-saving. "Unsubstantiated risks" also shows safety because it state that any risks have not been proven and are therefore unfounded. Some of the other phrases such as "more vitamin A" and "more nutritious" support the argument that the food is healthier but are not used to specifically explain how safe it is.</span>
