This is an example of passive euthanasia.
Euthanasia is mercy killing - when somebody is in a lot of pain and there is no cure for it, so they are killed (in some countries, this is legal, in some, it is not). Passive euthanasia means that a person is allowed to die - a treatment that has been keeping them alive is suddenly stopped (as in the case above, when Tom's respirator was turned off).

In regard to specificity vs. population coding, most researchers conclude that?
konstantin123 [22]

In regard to specificity vs. population coding, most researchers conclude that specificity coding determines basic taste qualities, and population coding is important for discriminating subtle differences.

Population coding is the quantitative study of the methods or representations the brain employs to aggregate and assess the signals received by various neurons.

Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savoury  are the basic tastes detected by humans. This enables us to assess if certain foods are healthy to eat or not. Chemical compounds that activate taste receptors in our mouths provide each taste. Your sense of taste enables you to appreciate a variety of meals and cuisines.

Explain how the transcontinental railroad was built and it importance to manifest destiny (10-13 sentence)
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Manifest destiny is a belief that many people in America at that time held. This belief made them convinced that they're somehow destined by God to spread democracy and capitalism to the rest of North America. The people at that time belief that it's the only correct system to ensure the freedom of all citizens.

But due to the large size of its territory, it is difficult to reach many different areas in north America. Railroad companies already exists. But, most of them only operates within one state.  This problem was somehow solved by the creation of Transcontinental Railroad.

The transcontinental railroad was built with the intention to create a pathway connect all part of North America. It is an important infrastructure for the American people to create settlements in every corner of the country.  This helped them spread the ideologies as intended in Manifest Destiny.

The correct answer is surrealist

Surrealists were all about showing the world in a different manner which incorporated elements that are not found anywhere in actual reality. It was like the opposite movement of the realistic movement. Take for example Salvador Dali who painted the melting clocks and similar paintings who have nothing to do with actual reality.
