from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad "Do you see the story? Do you see anything? It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dre

am -- making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams. . . ." He was silent for a while. ". . . No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence -- that which makes its truth, its meaning -- its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream -- alone. . . ." What is the best way to summarize the central claim made in this passage? A) Nobody can really understand anyone else's story, because nobody knows what is really like to see from another's perspective. B) Life is like dreaming, and sometimes it is hard to tell where the one begins and the other ends. C) Dreams are weird and mysterious, and will never really be understood. D) One person's dreams could easily be another person's reality, and vice versa.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

In this passage, the author is trying to convey the idea that personal experiences are hard to convey -just like dreams- because it is difficult to make the other person understand the perspective from which we experienced them.

This means that no one can trully understand other people's stories, since we do not have the necessary insight to see it from their point of view.

Hello. You have not entered the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for that question I was able to find another question exactly the same as the article "How Video Games Are Getting Inside Your Head" as the text in question. If this is your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

C. Game companies research ways to influence gamers, encouraging them to play longer and to spend more.

Explanation:

The text shows how the gaming industry has a great capacity to attract customers. This capacity is intensified with a strong study in the target public of these industries, where it is possible to recognize the preferences of the customers and intensify those preferences in the next games that will be launched causing the customers to buy more games and spend more time playing. The text presents this statement as the central idea of the entire text, which is the subject on which all arguments are established.
