The correct answer is C.
In this instance, Sekhar is saying that truth is like the sun because it shocks therefore causes pain. For this reason, it must be "tempered," or softened.
Answer:
I believe the options are:
(A) All these decisions by public officials and businesses are aimed at one goal: slowing down the spread of the virus to avoid overburdening a health care system that doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a sudden surge of tens of thousands of cases at once.
(B) Epidemiologists study diseases and how they spread. They can somewhat predict how many cases of a disease are going to occur based on how the disease is behaving.
(C) The only reason total U.S. cases aren't already skyrocketing is that coronavirus testing has been such a mess that too few people — just 77 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the whole week of March 8 — are being tested. You can't count cases you haven't identified yet.
(D) But every indication is that the United States is on track to see the same exponential increase other countries are seeing, as scientist Mark Handley has been tracking on Twitter.
Explanation:
Flattening the curve basically means to lessen the pressure on the healthcare system by employing precautionary measures against the coronavirus. These, as you might already be aware, include hand washing, use of face masks, sanitizers, gloves and staying at home to prevent catching the infection.
Without protective measures, the number of cases will increase exponentially, ultimately overburdening the healthcare system. There won't be enough doctors, nurses or medical equipment to cater to the patients.
Im afraid
although I like to mask my fear
I prefer to stand clear
tall buildings mountain tops
or simply just a roof
I imagine the worst
I tremble and even sometimes curse
it's very common to fear
but I prefer to not let my friends hear
as I feel they may make fun
I'd rather suffer instead of run
it may not come when you're young
climbing trees and riding rides
until you feel the fear
and then riding those rides may be hard
lots of courage to ride once more
Answer:
The old system has died, and a new society will depend on racial cooperation.
Explanation:
In this story, we see an example of irony. The story shows us that the white family believes in the traditional way of being. They have internalized the idea that white people are superior to black people, and that this makes them natural masters and rulers. This idea of white supremacy is exemplified in the white boy. However, when the white boy's body is trapped in a barbed wire fence, this is a symbol of the death of the old regime and the beginning of a new era. This new era is represented by the cooperation that can be seen between the white parents, and the black servants.
