The correct answer is: B. Worry about political climate

Explanation:

One of the biggest reasons why Darwin waited 20 years to publish his theory  On the origin of Species was because of the religious implications it carried. It is known that in the time of 19th century, Victorian period in England, religion and the Church played great role in the politics and in the life of society. Therefore, the scientist was afraid of the reaction of people on his brave words that there is no sharp line between a human being and "lower animal". Darwin knew that publishing his work would provoke a very controversial issue, and he was right.

What does Heck Tate mean when he says "Let the dead bury the dead"
vovangra [49]

Some people might think this is a callous act by Jesus. However, Biblical scholars interpret this differently. They say that the disciple wanted to ignore his spiritual responsibilities to go take care of his aging father. Jesus meant that the disciple’s father was spiritually dead and that other people would take care of him. The disciple had to stay true to his religious calling. Although this doesn’t literally mean that the man couldn’t bury his father, it still might sound harsh. A better explanation might simply be that Jesus wanted his disciple to put God first, even before family.

Answer:

Jim is Huck's mentor and a father figure. Through Jim, Huck learns true compassion and becomes aware of how father/ child relationships should be. Jim loves Huck, looks out for him, and would sacrifice himself to protect him. Huck feels the same way. In essence, I'd say he is fatherly, to say the least.

Why does the narrator say, “the disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them”?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I didn't read the book or know the story  but I can imagine that if it is meant to be literal, he/she said it because having the disease made him/her more careful and weary.

Explanation:

It is kind of like what happened with this Corona. We heard about the "disease" and became more weary and careful. Also: sharpened our senses.
