I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answe

r to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

Answer: The main idea of this passage is that fictional can be real but many people don't know it or can't explain it at all. Just like the dragons they come from many different sources.

Explanation: Things that humans can't understand are usally called fictional. fiction is something that is made up and it's too impossible to believe in the first place. all in all the main idea of this passage is to explain from many sources that the myth of these mythical flying creatures might actually be real. :}

Pick any reading and describe a theme or central idea it has in common with the excerpt above. What issue is Powel commenting on
kobusy [5.1K]

Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.

Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.

In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.

In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.

Based on the passage, if the influenza virus pictured had a mutated hemagglutinin protein, urumin would most likely A) still be
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Viruses are prone to clumping together. Many times extensive sequence changes may not make a difference in antibody recognition. While sometimes small changes in HA are sufficient for a large antigenic distance. That is, with few mutations, some Hemagglutinins may be much less recognized by the antibodies.

Explanation:

As the virus replicates in the body of infected people, the immune system captures several pieces of viral protein, the antigenic antibodies, and produces antibodies against them. There are other types of immune responses, too, but they do not cause long-term immunity, so that is beside the point. The two main viral targets of the antibodies are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, since they are the most exposed proteins of the virus. When antibodies associate with them, in addition to signaling macrophages and other types of defense cells that that foreign body (the virus) has to be attacked, they can still prevent the virus from working. An antibody that attacks the Hemagglutinin receptor recognition region prevents it from associating with cells. They are the so-called neutralizing antibodies.

(LC)Which sentence is written in second-person point of view?
garri49 [273]
Second-person point of view will only use pronouns such as you or your. An easy way to remember this is if you like fan-fiction or have seen females talk about it is. There are some written in the form of an online writing called "imagines." They are normally written in a way where you are supposed to imagine yourself with the celebrity, and they will write these in second-person.

First person only uses I, me, us, we, and mine. This is because first-person point of view is how you would be telling a story to someone about yourself. This is through the eyes of the narrator.

General third person only uses things such as he, she, they, and them. This is because the writing is not being told by the narrator.
