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.

how do the writing styles of stephen crane and ambrose bierce differ, especially in relation to their use of figurative language
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: While Ambrose Bierce uses the most characteristic features of naturalism, Stephen Crane uses figurative language to describe human relationships with nature.

Explanation:

In addition to his intense use of irony, Crane presents similes that explicitly compare the battle with a blaze or a monster, the soldiers with long serpents, the rival campfires with red eyes, the sound of a bullet shell with a storm banshee, and Fleming´s running as similar to the way a rabbit would run.

Bierce uses gothic figurative language in a more clear and dominant way. Especially to show Farquhar´s hallucinations and disorientation through melodramatic tone and alliterations and metrics to provide hints of an unrealistic dreamlike setting.
