The correct answer is the following: <em>option b. In the excerpt, the concept of collectivism is the one that causes the downfall of humanity.</em> "Anthem" is a dystopian novel written by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand that was first published on 1938. One of the main themes of the novel is how collectivism is the enemy of the individual and its primacy. As the excerpt shows, the worship of the word "we" is what made men submissive and impotent. The excerpt, as well as the whole novel, depicts the collective society as the destructive force that represses any independent thinker.

leonid [27]

In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.

The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.

There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Decreased shade variation of red color because no trait form is now advantageous.

Explanation:

Earlier females choose mates based on vibrant colors of male feathers, therefore, there was a selection pressure on males to evolve the trait so that they get their mate and pass their genes to the next generation.

So when females switched to other criteria other than feather color to get their mate then the importance of color trait gets reduced and the trait becomes non-advantageous for male cardinal.  

Therefore due to this change, there is no longer necessity remained to evolve the color trait so the shade variation will decrease over time as now no trait form remained advantageous for this bird species.
