As we do not have the text book, we cannot link the answer to that information. However, we can still try to explain what the process is like for the eyes to adjust to the dark.

The phenomenon described in this example is known as "dark adaptation." This usually takes about 20-30 seconds, depending on the intensity of the light in the previous surroundings (in this case, it was a bright day). The reason why we are able to see in a wide variety of environments is because of the photoreceptors found in our retina. These are light-sensitive cells, and are divided into cones and rods. The interaction of cones (day vision) and rods (night vision) is what results in "dark adaptation."

Which statement best describes the lesson we can learn from Lupe's experience?
mezya [45]

The answer is: c. It’s important to keep accurate records.

In cases when the people from authority need to conduct an audit to our financial information, they will crosschecks the accounting records that we have with the actual proof of the transaction (slips, bank statement, cheques, etc). If, there are some inaccuracies in the records, they could use it as a proof to indict us for financial frauds even if it's a honest mistake on our part.
