Which sentence from the passage builds tension? Lea's Load by B. K. McSwain "Lea! Did you eat the last apple I was going to use

to make us a pie? Don't you know there's a war going on?" her mother shouted out the window. Lea, sitting below on the apartment stoop, tossed an apple core into the bushes; yes, she knew there was a war going on. Ever since that German guy decided to invade Poland, there had been a war going on turning her life in Rome, Italy, inside out and upside down until she couldn't even eat an apple in peace. Lea grabbed the bucket and trudged to the custodian's closet for a mop with little consolation that her work efforts helped pay the rent while papa was away in the war. Fear inched up her spine as she opened the door to the dark, dank, and dusty room. She steeled herself to run in and run out when a movement in the corner caught her attention. Sunlight streamed in, shining a beacon on blonde hair that stuck up like thatch from a young man's head as he crouched, clothed in a tattered German uniform, with his arms wrapped around his knees, shaking and muttering. "What are you doing in here?" Lea demanded in her native Italian tongue. She knew some German from her schooling, so when the young man stuttered his reply, she understood him to say in his German tongue, "no more war," but his petrified, blue eyes pleaded better than his German could. Lea, seeing he was no more than 16 years, motioned him to stay and remain quiet. Sneaking up to her apartment, she heard her mother in the back rooms, so Lea stole into the kitchen and retrieved a long loaf of bread from the window sill. Swiftly cutting it lengthwise, she stuffed it with sliced salami and wrapped it in wax paper before placing it in her bucket to lug back to the fugitive. "Here," she offered the provender to him, and he bit into it ravenously. "Slow down! I don't know when I can get you more—this must last you days." She gestured hoping he would understand, and then she began the perplexing task of determi

uysha [10]

Answer:

B. harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

Explanation:

Before Joseph Lister was inspired by Pasteur's germ theory to perform sterile operations, doctors harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

This was because doctors didn't do enough to prevent the spread of bacteria through surgical equipment and in the end they ended up causing more problems for their patients than the help they gave.

Prior to Joseph Lister's sterilisation which was influenced by Pasteur's germ theory, surgeons were unhygienic and didn't wash their hands or change their clothing before surgery which made infections after surgery widespread.

The statute of Louisiana, acts of 1890, c. 111, requiring railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in that State, to provide equal, but separate, accommodations for the white and colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations; and providing that no person shall be permitted to occupy seats in coaches other than the ones assigned to them, on account of the race they belong to; and requiring the officer of the passenger train to assign each passenger to the coach or compartment assigned for the race to which he or she belong; and imposing fines or imprisonment upon passengers insisting on going into a coach or compartment other than the one set aide for the race to which he or she belongs; and conferring upon officers of the train power to refuse to carry on the train passengers refusing to occupy the coach or compartment assigned to them, and exempting the railway company from liability for such refusal, are not in conflict with the provisions either of the Thirteenth Amendment or of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
