The two examples which correctly punctuate an essential expression or element in the sentence are:
Architecture, so popular with Native Americans, is still a flourishing art.
Mexico, where sports are popular, has hosted the Olympic Games at the World Cup.
Some constituents that alter a sentence are indispensable and restrict the meaning of an altered word or prhase, whereas others aren't indispensable and don't affect its meaning. The first ones are separated from the main idea using commas.
Mexico City is home to several museums that display the country’s past. Here we don't have any non essential element.
The National Historical Museum, which is in Chapultepec Castle, is concerned with Mexico’s history since the Spanish conquest. Here, information can't be ommited and in fact, shouldn't be set off with comas, since such expression contains essential information (it is not any National Historic Museum but the National Historic Museum which is in Chapultepec Castle).
In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.
For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
