Answer:

The Caning of Charles Sumner, or the Brooks–Sumner Affair, occurred on May 22, 1856, in the United States Senate chamber, when Representative Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina, used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner, an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts, in retaliation for a speech given by Sumner two days earlier in which he fiercely criticized slaveholders, including a relative of Brooks. The beating nearly killed Sumner and it contributed significantly to the country's polarization over the issue of slavery. It has been considered symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse"[1] and the use of violence that eventually led to the Civil War.

why did the newspaper advisor give the paper to principal Reynolds for review? Was this standard procedure?
Natalka [10]

Regarding the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier case, it is standard procedure for the newspaper advisor to give the paper to Principal Reynolds for review.  

While the students may feel that the paper being denied/removed is an infringement of speech, school officials have to right to censor school papers (within educated reason) because it is sponsored by the school.

The notion that words are arbitrary and have no meaning in themselves refers to which characteristic of language
Rina8888 [55]
Language is Symbolic. This characteristic holds that words have no meaning in themselves and are therefore, arbitrary.

Language is primarily comprised of sound symbols, with their graphological counterparts, and is used to refer to objects, occurrences, or to give meaning. The meaning of these symbols were initially arbitrarily assigned and chosen, and then became conventionally accepted and employed. The words in a language are therefore "symbols of meaning."

Explanation:

Midbrain: The midbrain of a human being's brain is also referred to as mesencephalon and is considered as the developing vertebrate region of the brain which is composed of tegmentum and tectum. It comprises three distinct parts including cerebral peduncles, the colliculi, and the tegmentum.

Function: Motor movement including eye movement, visual, and auditory processing.

Any damage or malfunctioning to the midbrain of an individual causes vision difficulty, movement disorders, hearing difficulty, and memory trouble.

In the question above, Vijay's midbrain area of the central nervous system is likely to malfunction.
