Answer:
Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>
The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>
As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.
Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>
I would go with B, or Ways to build immunity to diseases. Why? Well, just by using the word biology, we can use process of elimination. The prefix “bio” means life, so C and D already would be out. The suffix “ology” means the study of, so the word biology means the study of life. Because biology often has to do with diseases and finding cures to sustain human life spans, the only logical answer would be B. A would make no sense in terms of biology.
a contingency break; inattentional blindness
This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.
Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.

Answer:
<em>B.</em><em> The sea and its tides</em>
Explanation:
<em>Robinson Crusoe </em>is a novel written by Daniel Defoe. We follow the story of a man who was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He was trapped there for 28 years with no valid possibilities of sailing away.
Antagonist in a story is a person or a hostile force that stands as opposed to protagonist (the main character), it makes things hard for him and creates a rocky road to the protagonist`s goal, intentionally or unintentionally.
In this novel, the antagonist is the sea and its tides - it was them that caused the shipwreck and disenabled Robinson from getting out of the island and going home.
