<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>

In the moment, he acted without thoroughly contemplating his actions, although feeling guilt wash over him after he had done it. Even when others tried to comfort him, he refused to justify taking a life. Later in life, the guilt still wallows inside him.

What words start with a j and describe jane goodall?
DIA [1.3K]
just. this means she does things based on what is morally right. 

jubilant. this means she is often excited, rejoicing. overly happy.

joyful. this is similar to jubilant, but means less celebratory and more happy. 

why these words could be used to describe jane goodall: wanting to observe and be around the chimpanzees not only to end curiosity, but help people learn more about them so that this knowledge could be used later when learning how to protect them could be considered just and morally right. being able to accomplish so much and just be around happy chimps and know that people support what she did could have made her rather jubilant and celebratory, especially when learning new things about chimps that others had not known before then. she seemed to be an overall happy person, especially around the animals, and people have never really described her as a miserable person to be around. this could make her joyful.

The correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.

Explanation

Debate is a term that refers to a communication resource that focuses on the collation of different ideas or opinions on a certain topic. The objective of a debate is to present and argue an opinion on an issue to conclude. According to the above, the News Radio Program transcript presents the implicit message of a debate among the residents of Port Harbor, while some want to preserve the Port Harbor Bridge, others do not want to preserve it and each one presents their arguments as expressed in the next paragraph "Residents in the town of Port Harbor are divided over whether they should preserve the Port Harbor Bridge...Opponents argue that preserving the bridge will be too expensive." So, the correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.

Select the correct relative pronoun to complete this sentence.
Assoli18 [71]

The correct relative pronoun to complete this sentence.

Alchemists​,​ _____ wanted to transform base metals into​ gold, were also among the first people to conduct laboratory​ experiments is option D. WHO

It is a non-defining realtive clause. Non-defining realtive clauses add extra information to a sentence by defining the noun. That can be used as a replacement of which or who in defining relative clauses.  But it is not correct to use THAT to replace shich /who in non defining realtive caluses
