Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping

the blade well away from her gloved fingers. The spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. She did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. She had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. If the animal had died of Ebola, this was not a clear case. She opened up the intestine. There was no blood inside it. The gut looked okay. Then she examined the stomach. There she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. This could be a sign of Ebola, but it was not a clear sign. It could also be a sign of simian fever, not Ebola. Therefore, she could not confirm the presence of Ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of this paragraph?
a. It is difficult to identify Ebola in dead specimens.
b. Performing a necropsy is a tedious procedure.
c. Signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar.
d. Ebola has unusual effects on infected monkeys.

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that the signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar: <em>This could be a sign of Ebola, but it was not a clear sign. It could also be a sign of simian fever, not Ebola</em>. Although she found some bleeding spots between the stomach and the small intestine, it could also be considered as a sign of simian fever.

Read the stanza from "Invictus:"
Sindrei [870]
*You control your own destiny.*


Two lines of the poem directly support this claim. They are...

"I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul."

Meaning that the ultimate determining factor is you. Everyone is granted a choice, fate and destiny do not control you, because everyone has free-will.

Prompt People have had both positive and negative reactions to Angela's Ashes. Why do you think people have reacted so strongly
laiz [17]

"Angela's Ashes" is a controversial book and one that had an even more controversial repercussion helped him to shape people's intense reaction to this book.

This book recounts the memories of its author, McCourt, living in a backward region, with neglectful parents, precocious sexuality, hopelessness, death and poor quality of life. In addition, McCourt expresses depressing and derogatory thoughts within controversial memories and with a strong psychological content.

Because it is a book with strong and impactful themes, many people did not like the book because they believe that the author exaggerates and glamorizes the suffering and broken personal relationships. Other people, however, liked the book because it portrays a reality that many people go through and that the governments and people favored in society do not care.

Many events narrated in the book were denied by witnesses and people who lived with McCourt, which favored the negative reception that the book received. McCourt himself claims that he has modified some situations to make the narrative more fluid and engaging.
