Pick C cuz why not give it a chance and see if you get it right
This question is incomplete. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
. . . but Michael was just laughing at him.
What would be the BEST theme for this passage?
1. Everything always works out in the end.
2. Always treat people as kindly as you would like to be treated.
3. You should always carry extra money.
4. Be nice to everyone, they could end up being a good friend.
Answer:
The best theme for the passage is:
4. Be nice to everyone, they could end up being a good friend.
Explanation:
We may be tempted to choose theme number 2 but, after thoroughly reading the passage, we can tell number 4 is the best option. The lesson or moral of the story is not simply about being kind for its own sake. There is interest involved. According to the end of the story, you may need that person later, just like Caleb ended up needing Michael. Thus, it pays off to be kind to them just in case.
Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism) and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.
In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.
<span>In this question, the authorial voice is best described as the voice used by the voice used by authors when seeming to speak for themselves. The historical author is the one writing the text and his or her opinions may or may not be in the text itself; the "author," meanwhile, is the one who the reader perceives to be behind the narration. The fictional narrator is separate from the author and often has a different personality or point of view altogether. </span>
