Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''
Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others
Explanation:
In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.
This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
A moral dilemma is a conflict in which you have to choose between two or more actions and have moral reasons for choosing each action.

The statement that best provides an inference about seismic activity along the San Andreas fault is D - <em>By studying "seismic gaps," scientists know that the next earthquake to occur along the san Andreas fault will happen in the San Francisco Bay area with the next decade.</em>
A Seismic Gap, is a segment of the fault where no earthquakes have taken place for a very long time. Due to the build up of stresses in the San Francisco Bay area, scientists have deduced that one is overdue, the last one being in 1906. Scientists have been successful in forecasting earthquakes by studying these gaps, deducing that there is a 100-150 year interval between large ones.
