The correct answer would be option C, Vegetative State.

His family and friends notice that his eyes have occasionally opened and he has made a few irregular sounds. Mikal is in a Vegetative State.

Explanation:

People go into the vegetative state due to some severe medical illness or due to traumatic brain injury. Due to the dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres, the person goes into a state where consciousness, responsiveness and awareness are not present. In this state, the responsiveness and awareness are particularly absent.

The brain stem and the diencephalon are unable to preserve autonomic and motor reflexes and sleep-wake cycles.

So when Mikal was in a state in which his cognitive functions ceased but he was still breathing and sometimes showed some symptoms of consciousness like making sounds and opening of eyes, then he is in a Vegetative State.

What is 45 w is 12:00 noon whate will be the local mean time at 90 E​
____ [38]

Answer:

9 pm

Explanation:

If the local mean time at 45° W is 12:00 noon, what will be the local mean time at 90°E?

Solution:

The lines of longitude run from north to south, measuring distance from east to west of the prime meridian. The line of longitude are used to measure time between different locations.

Each 15° = 1 hour, 1° = 4 minutes

Change in longitude = 45° + 90° = 135°

Change in time = 135° * (1 hour per 15°) =  9 hours

Final destination time = initial time + change in time

Final destination time = 12 noon + 9 hours
