Psychology Major here! :) Hope this helps:
1) Up to date, there is still no definite answer when it comes the capacity of information a brain can withhold - it is truly unlimited.
2) The size of a brain varies between species and its capacity to retain information varies as well.
3) Humans have the most complex psychological process to understand, however, there are many other species who have incredible cognitive intelligence. (Such as dolphins, for example.)
4) When damage is done to a certain side of the brain and there is a need to remove the damaged area, there is a possibility that the undamaged parts of the brain can take over the same functions as the removed area. (Therefore, for example, the remaining part of your brain can still nearly function to a maximum capacity depending of the severity of damage... as well as area).
5) The brain named itself "brain".
(The brain controls you, but you control the brain.)
A parental wish is something (usually a task) that a parent would like to be accomplished by the child.
Answer:
Jenny Daltry thinks that caring about one snake is symbolic of how the safety of one species will lead to the overall safety of the others slowly. And in that process, it is ensuring that some endangered species do not go extinct.
Explanation:
Jenny Daltry is a conservation biologist whose work mostly centers around the 'unwanted' animals of the animal kingdom such as snakes and reptiles. She focuses on taking care of, helping in spreading awareness, and helping conserve snakes, crocodiles, and another lesser- wanted animals.
When asked why she works for such animals in particular the Antiguan racers, she replied, <em>"To me, it’s symbolic. If you don’t care about this particular snake, why should you care about anything else? Each one is part of a great web."</em> To her, taking care of one snake is symbolic of how one single living being is a part of a bigger cycle of the living world. So, if one was to take care of even a single snake, then it is a small step to ensuring that the others are also safe and the whole web is made safe and taken care of.
Answer:
The best option to modify this sentence is: change then to than.
Explanation:
There is no mistake in the way the sentence is punctuated. Also, "calm" is an adjective referring to lake, so it does not need to be changed. "Calmly" is an adverb, and would be used differently.
However, there is a misspelling in "then". The correct word is "than", which a part of the expression "would rather... than...", which expresses preference. That is the only problem with the sentence. The correct form is:
If I were a duck, I would rather swim in a calm lake than a fast moving stream.
Another example with "would rather... than..." would be:
She said she would much rather not buy it at all than borrow the money to do it.
