Answer:

- To discourage their return.

Explanation:

As one looks around, one can witness the diversity possessed by people not only in their food, language, or customs but also their beliefs and conviction.

According to the question, the societies or religions that believe in the supernatural tend to show faith in immaterial objects and beings like angels and spirits. Therefore, the reason(who believes in supernatural) behind the burning of the homes of the deceased after their death would be 'to discourage the return of the spirit' of deceased person. They believe that burning or discarding all their belongings or things that denote their existence would prevent the return of their spirit which they feel may possess a threat to them.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Because the passage itself attempts to create confusion.

Explanation:

Right after he mentions the word <em>confusion</em>, he compares it to a hive in swarm --this implies a sense of chaos and danger. The writer then goes further and uses numerous onomatopeias in order to achieve an even more distressing effect: all the sounds that follow are presented in a sort of sequence that create a vivid and puzzling scene in the reader's mind.

A forensic investigator at a crime lab is performing a forensic analysis of a hard drive that was brought in by state troopers.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

document the mistake and workaround the problem

Explanation:

According to my research on CSI procedures, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the forensics investigator should document the mistake and workaround the problem. The investigator needs to continue with his research and use the correct tool but he still needs to document the mistake in case it may have affected something in unforeseen ways.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
