Summary
In the same riverbed where the story began, it is a beautiful, serene late afternoon. A heron stands in a shaded green pool, eating water snakes that glide between its legs. Lennie comes stealing through the undergrowth and kneels by the water to drink. He is proud of himself for remembering to come here to wait for George but soon has two unpleasant visions. His Aunt Clara appears “from out of Lennie’s head” and berates him, speaking in Lennie’s own voice, for not listening to George, for getting himself into trouble, and for causing so many problems for his only friend. Then a gigantic rabbit appears to him, also speaking in Lennie’s own voice, and tells him that George will probably beat him and abandon him. Just then, George appears. He is uncommonly quiet and listless. He does not berate Lennie. Even when Lennie himself insists on it, George’s tirade is unconvincing and scripted. He repeats his usual words of reproach without emotion. Lennie makes his usual offer to go away and live in a cave, and George tells him to stay, making Lennie feel comforted and hopeful. Lennie asks him to tell the story of their farm, and George begins, talking about how most men drift along, without any companions, but he and Lennie have one another. The noises of men in the woods come closer, and George tells Lennie to take off his hat and look across the river while he describes their farm. He tells Lennie about the rabbits and promises that nobody will ever be mean to him again. “Le’s do it now,” Lennie says. “Le’s get that place now.” George agrees. He raises Carlson’s gun, which he has removed from his jacket, and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. As Lennie falls to the ground and becomes still, George tosses the gun away and sits down on the riverbank.
They're. They are driving to Yellowstone National Park tomorrow. Theirs doesn't sound right in the sentence. Their means belonging to. So they're fits in the sentence the best.
Answer:
A.Mad cow disease ended because of government bans on feeding cows certain foods, but people were angry that governments did not act sooner.
Explanation:
The text explains that the disease was identified in 1986. Seven years later, in 1993, the disease had reached an epidemic level and was causing huge losses to the farmers and panic among the consumers.
In 1997, governments banned some food for the bovines and the epidemic was quickly controlled afterwards. By 2010, the disease had largely disappeared.
The farmers are angry that the governments didn't help them earlier and the consumers are angry they were put at risk.
