The solution in which the cell was immersed had a high concentration of salt.

The cell shrunk because of the process of osmosis. In the process of osmosis, when two solutions are separated by a permeable membrane, the two solutions will tend to equalize their concentrations. The equalization usually happens because the dissolved particles move, but since the cell membrane does not allow the movement of the particles, the water molecules had to move.

The cell has shrunk because the solution outside of the cell had a very high concentration of salt and a lot of water escaped the cell in order to equalize the two solutions reducing the volume of the cell.

In my opinion, distilled water. water may have gone through the cell by osmosis, causing an overflow of large amounts into it. this will lead to the cell being too full with the water, leading it to burst.

The answer is B) 2 and 3

When you do a Riemann's sum, you split the interval into columns. In choice 3 we are told that there are 4 equal subdivisions meaning that each of the 4 columns are 1 wide. Since it is a left Riemann's sum we add the height of the column where the LEFT side crosses the curve. For [-1, 0], the height is -1, for [0, 1] it is 0, for [1, 2] it is 2, and for [2, 3] it is 3. Now add the heights together to get 4. Then you multiply by the width, but since the columns are 1 wide, the answer is still just 4.

I'm not completely sure what you mean my contrasts and contradictions but I'll try to help
When Jonas realized he could see color, it contrasted from the normal grey scale he and his community usually experience.
His new life contradicted his past life before his job assignment because he was told he could never lie but not with his job, he has the right to.
He also realized what the government was doing immorally and that contradicted his old view of his government, which was that they are faultless.
Sorry that's only three but I hope it helped
