One unfortunate result of the scientifically unsupported contention that vaccinations play a major role in the development of autism spectrum disorder is that in the first half of 2008, rates of measles cases in the United States doubled as compared to the rates observed between 2000 and 2007.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- Though the contention was not supported with scientific findings and was only based on general observation, the results of the contention clearly exhibited that the vaccination has failed as there was an increase in cases with measles contraction.
- Merely for the fact that the contention lacks scientific support, it was not given enough emphasis and means and methods other than what the contention suggested were implemented to address the problem.
"I madly made exaggerated corrections with the cycle. We zigged crazily in mid zag, then zagged wildly in mid zig." This passage is an example of using language to convey movement
Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
When reading the given phrase, it tells that the changes made in cycle in some large represented way. Means, made corrections in the zigzag direction of course and then in the weaken area. So, it clearly shows that the given passage denotes the language used to deliver the about the corrected cycle's motion.
If we look into the other choices, 'exaggeration' denotes magnification, 'satire' means use of humour, and 'irony' indicates 'sharpness'. These terms are not best suited as example to the given passage. Hence, concluded option D as right one.
