In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.
For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
Answer:
A sudden hush fell on the crowd as Mr. Summers cleared his throat and looked at the list.
Explanation:
The phrase from the excerpt that best reveals how the social environment shifts as the lottery begins is "A sudden hush fell on the crowd as Mr. Summers cleared his throat and looked at the list.".
This is because, by mentioning that there was a sudden silence in the crowd as the lottery numbers were about to be called shows that the social environment shifted as the announcement was about to be made.
I would say the best answer is A, he hides behind a tree. I was in between A and D, but one can run in a park.
B wouldn't work because him being dressed in ordinary street clothes doesn't show that he's afraid of something.
C wouldn't work because although yes, he was panting, that could mean that he's just tired; not necessarily, scared.
The man hiding behind the tree is the best evidence for the conclusion of him being afraid of something. Also in the passage it states, "....he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting."
A security guard. He has to be alert and watchful during all his shift at work
