Answer:
Updike has carefully brought the meaning to the poem and to the character by naming him Flick, which means a quick and sudden movement.
Explanation:
'Ex-Basketball Player' is a poem written by John Updike. The poem is about a character named 'Flick Webb' who used to be basketball star in his high school but now serves as a gas station attendant.
<u>The poem brings the meaning that one should not remain the past glory of life and must move on</u>. Flick used to be a basketball star in his high school but after that moment of life gets over he is just 'Flick' who, now, should think of life ahead of him. But he remains stick to his past glory.
"Flick' means a <u>quick and sudden movement</u>. By naming the character 'Flick', Updike brings out the message that life goes on in a flick moment of time and thus one should remain prepared for it. But, in the poem, 'Flick' was not prepared for life ahead and remained a slave of past glory as an 'Ex-Basketball Player.' Because 'Flick' perceived that his glory will remain forever, he never learned other skills to help him for his future, that's why now he serves as a gas station attendant.
Answer:
A-The cell was submerged in a hypertonic solution.
Explanation:
A hypertonic solution is a solution with higher concentration of solute or dissolved particle than that of its surrounding.
When normal cells and animal cells are submerged in a hypertonic solution, the cell loses water to its surrounding, thereby shrinking.
The statement which best explains what occurred to the Elodea cell when submerged in a solution, is:
"A-The cell was submerged in a hypertonic solution."
This explains why the cytoplasm of Elodea became shrunk as it pulls away from the cell wall, thereby clumping together at the center of the cell.
