The main idea of the passage is Living-donor liver transplantation offers a lifesaving alternative to whole-liver transplantatio

n. How does the detail in bold develop the main idea?
We cannot survive without our livers, which remove waste products from our blood and produce bile to break down fats, among several other important functions. People with liver failure can be treated with whole-liver transplant surgery, in which a liver is taken from the body of a recently deceased person and placed into the body of a recipient. However, because the number of livers available for this type of transplant is extremely limited, whole-liver transplantation cannot be provided to all of the thousands of people on the waiting list for a liver. Living-donor liver transplants offer a solution. In a living-donor transplant, a person with a healthy liver donates part of his or her liver to replace the failing liver of another person. Because of the liver's amazing ability to regenerate itself, both the donor and the recipient will grow normal-sized livers in a matter of months. Thanks to living-donor transplantation, numerous lives have been saved.

1. It explains why whole-liver transplantation is preferred.
2 It identifies a serious limitation of whole-liver transplants

Answer:

2) It identifies a serious limitation of whole-liver transplants

Explanation:

People with liver failure can be treated through whole-liver transplant surgery.  This method transplants liver from the body of a recently deceased person into a recipient.

But whole-liver transplantation cannot be a good alternative to save thousands of people waiting for a liver transplant.

The number of livers available for this type of transplant is extremely limited.

The motif of blood in the play highlights the destructive nature of revenge.

<u>-historical lens :</u>

Because Queen Elizabeth did not have an heir, audiences in Shakespeare's time would likely have been interested in Hamlet's focus on succession.

-feminist lens:

Gertrude does what Claudius tells her to do because she has little power as a woman living in a male-dominated society.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In literature, the critical lens refers to a literary analysis method, such as the author's style, plot, characters and theme.

The formalist lens includes the interpretation of the text according to the background of the author and includes theme, motifs and viewpoints and language style.

The historical lens deals with the social, cultural, political and historical context that surround the events in a text, their causes and effects.

Finally, the feminist lens refers to the reader's interpretation of the text through the eyes of a feminist, who compares the treatment of women in relation to men as regards sexism, social equality and opportunities.
