Answer: B) elevating his lower extremities.

Explanation:

Shock is the response of the body towards the sudden drop in the blood pressure inside the blood vessels. The body responds to the shock by showing constriction of the blood vessels in the extremities such as feet and hand. This phenomena is called as vasoconstriction, this process conserve the blood flow to the vital organs of the body so that the vital signs may remain active.

Elevating the lower extremities can be useful to judge the constriction of blood vessels in them especially in feet. Thus this can be indicative of shock.

The passage suggests that if a news commentator presented an editorial agreeing with the Huxleyan warning, many viewers would:
Anna [14]

Answer:

A) Take whatever action was necessary to combat the danger.

This response would be more likely in the case of an Orwellian culture, which the author states is like "a prison" and "much easier to recognize, and oppose than a Huxleyan [world]."

B) Listen carefully to the commentator and then explain the ideas to others.

The passage suggests the opposite response: "Huxley believed that we are in a race between education and disaster, and he wrote continuously about the necessity of our understanding the politics and epistemology of media, he  was trying to tell us that what afflicted people in <em>Brave New World</em> was not that they were laughing instead of thinking."

C) charge that the commentator was irrational or needlessly alarming viewers.

The passage suggests that the commentator would invite this charge: "Those who speak about this matter must often raise their voices to a near hysterical pitch, inviting the charge that they are everything from wimps to public nuisances to Jeremiahs."

D) Be receptive to learning more about the danger.

The viewers would be unreceptive to learning about the danger, because, according to the author, this world would appear benign.

If your baby blues persist or you feel gloomy, hopeless, or empty for more than two weeks, you may be suffering from postpartum depression. Feeling despondent or empty after giving birth is not a normal or anticipated component of motherhood.

Postpartum depression is a significant mental condition that impacts both your behavior and your physical health. When you experience depression, gloomy, flat, or empty sensations persist and might interfere with your daily life.

Answer:

Option B. is correct

Explanation:

The Rosenhan experiment was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of psychiatric diagnosis. The experimenters feigned hallucinations to enter psychiatric hospitals and acted normally afterward.
