The correct answer is option B. Shelley compares the recklessness of modern scientific discovery to the recklessness of Prometheus's desire to obtain the power of the gods.
Explanation:
This question has the excerpt missin. Here it is:
<em>In the myth of Prometheus, the titan Prometheus steals the gift of fire from the gods and gives it to humanity. Zeus punishes both humanity and Prometheus. In particular, he chains Prometheus to a rock where an eagle swoops down and eats his liver every day.
</em>
<em>In Mary Shelley's novel Frankestein; orm the Modern Prometheus, a driven scientist named Frankestein seeks to understand the secret of life and death. He succeeds in bringing a dead body back to life, but the monster he creates punishes Frankestein for the rest of his days.</em>

In her story, Shelley compares the discovery of the secret of life and death to Prometheus' desire for the power of the gods.
In both cases whoever performs the acts is punished. Prometeheus by Zeus, and the driven scientist by the monster he creates.
Answer:
Robots are often portrayed in media to be evil and want to end all of humanity. That is not the case. That scenario is more fiction than true, and even then, robots have assisted humanity in things we never could have done without them. Robots assist us with dangerous tasks such as welding metals, which can easily cause injuries to humans. Robots can also go into areas that humans cannot easily go to, such as space. Along with that, humans now have assistance with doing every day tasks with robots, such as helping them walk around and help them move their body. Despite all that the media and science fiction says about robots, they assist us in many ways, and we wouldn't be where we are today without them.

<em>She could be in many more circus performances if she'd learn when to stop clowning around.</em>
This is the sentence that contains the pun.
What best explains the pun here is that Kiko is a circus act at a circus show but she does not know when to be serious as she gets so silly during rehearsals.
The show directors believe she would be in more circus performances if she would learn when to stop clowning around.
The pun here is clowning around.
Explanation:
A pun is a play on words. It is a literary device that has two different meanings.
From the answer above, a clown is someone that makes people laugh through making funny faces and jesting. A clown is usually found in a circus.
Kiko works in a circus and because of her playful nature, she doesnt appear in a lot of circus performances.
Answer:
1. Part that includes subject and main action
- Dr. Nima Mesgarani and his team are developing
2. Part that is a detail about the subject
- Professor of electrical engineering
3. Part that is the outcome of the main action
- technology that may someday translate people's thought into electronically produced speech.
Explanation:
I have been able to match each sentence to the part the question answers.
In no. 1 you discover that it mentions the name of the subject and his team and also informed us the action they are carrying out: "developing".
In no. 2, we see that the information/detail of the subject was clearly stated, that he is "Professor of electrical engineering".
In no. 3, we are giving the outcome of the main action. The outcome is that the technology that is being developed may someday translate people's thought into electronically produced speech.
