3. Place the stages of gum disease in order of severity.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Gingivitis, Periodontitis, and Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.

Explanation:

Gingivitis - gums are mildly inflamed, may appear red or swollen and may bleed during brushing. Periodontitis - gums begin to separate and recede from the teeth. This allows plaque to move toward the roots, supporting fibers and bone. Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis - supporting fibers, bone is destroyed and necrosis of the gum and surrounding tissue is seen.

Musya8 [376]

The excerpt is from Of Plymouth Plantation, the journal by William Bradford  who was the governor of Plymouth Colony in 17th century. It is the description of Bradford's account on the Indians named Squanto and Samoset and how they helped the Pilgrims to negotiate with Indian tribe chief. The excerpt shows that the Europeans were strangers for the Indians until the writing recalls the story of two aforementioned characters. They didn't understand the Europeans first and they were somehow trying to be careful. Therefore, the correct options are guarded and wary.
