Answer:
D. The corruption of the good by the forces of evil and selfishness
Explanation:
War is always, and should always, be talked about in a negative connotation. In this case, the "forces of evil" is the negative experiences that the officer has obtained, whether it was the death of close comerades, or the experiences of first-hand killing of enemies. When one has seen the negatives of life in the underworld of war, the old age beliefs of honor within a battlefield is but lost. As such, when the virginity of a person's innocence is destroyed by the harrowing experiences, and, most likely, the close view of death, they lose interest of the every-day blessings, such as that they cannot get over the nightmares (PTSD). When the goodness of the world has been removed, and one is only exposed to the worse, the viewpoints of one become narcisistic, and the joys of life loses it's color and prestige within one's life.
Workers lives were devalued over the protection of goods.
Workers often lived in horrible urban conditions with few legal protections, long work hours, and in humane factory conditions.
Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.
Hope this helps!
