Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone (Links to an external site.). "Nancy took a breath and gathered her thoughts. She imagined th

at passing through the gray-zone door into Level 4 was like a space walk, except that instead of going into outer space, you went into inner space, which was full of the pressure of life trying to get inside your suit. People went into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute, particularly the civilian animal caretakers. But going into a containment zone to perform a necropsy on an animal that had died of an amplified unknown hot agent was something a little different. This was high-hazard work." The central idea of this excerpt is that working in a containment zone is very dangerous. Which phrases from the excerpt most support the central idea?

Answer:

A). "Amplified unknown hot agent; high-hazard work."

Explanation:

The theme is usually considered as the central idea, subject, theme or argument of the author that he reflects through his work in order to convey it effectively to the audience. In this excerpt, <em>the recurring idea reflected by the author is that 'working in a containment zone is hazardous' which is clearly mirrored by the use of words like "</em><u><em>amplified unknown hot</em></u><em> </em><u><em>agent</em></u><em>" and </em><u><em>"high-hazard work"</em></u><em> as it adds description of the intense dangerous impact of working in these conditions and portrays the author's central claim that is to reflect the hazards of working in this zone.</em>

Answer:

"An amplified unknown hot agent; high-hazard work".

Explanation:

The central idea or theme of the passage in the question is the dangerous situation of any work done in a containment zone. Containment zones are those sites or areas that are 'contained' or rather isolated or restricted for common entrance and view. So, when the speaker talks of the work that had to be done in the containment zone, she stressed on the severity of the situation. The animal to be tested "<em>had died of an amplified unknown hot agent"</em> which renders the work "<em>high-hazard"</em>.

Thus, these two phrases support the central theme of the dangerous condition of the work to be done.

Which of the following could be used to build suspense in a story?
Mama L [17]

The correct answer is: Short phrases that make the reader interested.

Some authors recommend  the use of short sentences as the genre requires variety and flow to avoid repetition and boredom. In this way the pace of the reading is increased keeping the reader's attention. I read an example that was very helpful, imagine someone that is anxious or scared, when he sepaks he uses few words at a time, forming complex sentences turns difficult. By writing with short sentences you can be able to transmit this kind of emotions in a more effective way. Remember that suspense's objective is to make the reader wonder at all time if the protagonist will overcome  the problems presented, the reader must frecuently face uncertainty.

The Atheist’s speech in lines 13-15 suggests that the Atheist wants to
statuscvo [17]

The suggestion from lines 13-15 is that the Atheist wants to <u>E: demonstrate both how wrong the speaker is and how he would interpret events differently.</u>

<h3>Who is an Atheist?</h3>

An atheist declares that God does not exist. Based on this declaration, he ignores the laws and prophets of God.  He does everything to please himself instead of ensuring the right relationship with his creator.  In short, the atheist thinks that he came into the world by his efforts.

Thus, the atheist is not stopping the speaker from mocking him, encouraging the speaker to acknowledge his viewpoint, demonstrating a universal law, or proving his intelligence, but <u>demonstrating that the speaker is wrong because he would interpret events differently.</u>
