How does the information in the video transcript from Dr. X and the Quest for Food Safety compare to the text Food Safety Myths
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: Some of the text reinforces the video by providing facts.

In the video no one pokes fun at the myths in the text, therefore B is ruled out. The text does not contradict the video either, on the contrary, the text reinforces what we saw on the video by providing additional facts about the information we saw on the video; therefore, option D is ruled out and we have C as the answer. A is not the answer either because the video is not an adaptation or reenactment of the text. The text is independent from the video, they just have the same argument and provide independent facts to support the same claim.

Katen [24]

Answer:

He trusts his lover, the princess, completely.

Explanation:

Frank R. Stanton's "The Lady, or the Tiger" is about the story of a young man who fell in love with a princess for which he was given 'fair' judgment. This fair judgment involves choosing between two doors, which contains a fair woman to become his wife immediately, or a tiger who will kill him.

And as seen in the given excerpt, the young man seemed faithful and trusts his lover completely. When it was time for him to choose, he looked at his lover and acted according to the indication of the princess. When the princess <em>"raised her hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the right"</em>, the young man <em>"Without the slightest hesitation, went to the door on the right, and opened it."</em> This act showed complete trust in the decision of the one he loves.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

How does clarisse in the book faranheit 451 have such an effect on montage “awakening” in the novel?
Bas_tet [7]
I don't have the book and I did it in freshman year so I don't remember specifics but I do know when Montage meets clarisse he focuses on her image and her white dress which shows her purity which makes a big impact on him somehow, when he actually speaks with her she makes him question everything around his society and why they don't actually read books, clarisse does read books herself and Montage does not report her which means that he's actually seeing how corrupt his society is. Eventually when she dies it's like he breaks or something like that and he ends up going against what he did all his life and against the firemen. Like I said I don't remember much, but I hope this could give you an idea on what you could look for.
