Answer: (C) Not crossed the basement membrane, so it can be surgically removed with little chance of growing back.

Explanation: Pap smear, also known as a Pap test, is a diagnostic process to test for cancer of the cervix or cervical cancer.

A Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix to check forabnormal cells, which is often cause by Human papillomavirus (HPV).

However, if the test is positive and the surgeon diagnosed "cancer in situ of the cervix.", it established that the tumor (proliferated cells) hasn't grown beyond the base of the membrane. So, the abnormal cells can be removed through surgery and further cell outgrow might not be experienced.

Answer: C. It means the tumor has not crossed the basement membrane of the womb (cervix) and can be surgically removed with a very low risk of growing back or spreading to other areas

Explanation: Cancer is said to be "in situ" when abnormal cells(cancerous cells) are still in the original place they were formed and has neither spread to other regions nor moved from the same position. These types of cancer are well contained and can be removed surgically to prevent them from being malignant thereby spreading to other regions.

Cancer in situ is usually referred to as stage 0(zero) cancer as it has not invaded nearby regions which makes it highly treatable which usually involves surgically removing the tumor and sometimes radiation.

What is the most likely reason the republicsame of Yugoslavia held together until the fall of communism
erik [133]
This is a little open for interpretation, but I would generally say that the best answer is that Josip Broz Tito was a very powerful leader, who kept the republics and the different groups together.

For example, we can see this from the fact that the first conflict happened in 1981: one year after his death ( a protest of Kosovans who demanded autonomy).

On page 7, janie tells pheoby, "unless you see de fur, a mink skin ain't no different from a coon hide." based on context clues,
kaheart [24]
I believe the answer is: <span>Telling and giving understanding are two different things.

Mink is valuable, coon is not, even though both are fur.
Janie implies that telling would be taken by people simply as passing sentence and would most likely forget it in a short period of time.
Making people understand on the other hand would most likely change people's behavior to the better.</span>
