Answer:

Humans living in or near the town.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson's short fairytale "A Fable For Tomorrow" is one of her collection of stories in her book "Silent Spring". This fable pictures a town full of life that suddenly changes to a deserted town after numerous maladies and illnesses overtook it.

Though the story started off with a quaint, nice, and peaceful town, it slowly progresses into a deserted, imaginary town. This was because of the <em>"a white granular powder [that] had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields, and streams."</em> Though Carson admits in the end that this is no real story of any town, in particular, it still can be a possibility in many parts of America. And the source of this <em>"white powder"</em> is, as Carson wants to point out, the frequent use of pesticides and chemicals by humans.

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

Read this line from chapter 3 of The Metamorphosis: Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? How does this line reveal
slega [8]

The line from The Metamorphosis shows us that although Gregor has changed into an insect, he still has human thoughts and emotions. He can still think and feel like a human and appreciate the finer things in life, such as music, which would presumably be lost to him if he were solely an animal, especially an insect. So the line shows that although he has physically changed, mentally and emotionally he’s still a human.

Gregor’s role as a son and brother also undergoes a transformation along with his physical transformation. Prior to his transformation, his entire family is dependent on him and his job. However, after his transformation, he becomes dependent on other members of his family for his sustenance and survival. For example, in the initial days after his transformation, Grete feeds him, and he comes to depend on her for nourishment.

Gregor struggles with a number of identity issues in his new form. Although he has been transformed into an insect, he still has human feelings and sensations. However, being an insect, he cannot find a suitable outlet to express his feelings and emotions. The few instances in which he tries to reach out to other people or experience pleasure, as when he wants to hear Grete play the violin, he’s vehemently dismissed because of his repulsive form.

Is “Dentists all over the world are telling their patients the same things.You must floss regularly” an example of Ethos and why
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: No. It isn't an example of ethos.

Explanation:

Ethos refers to an argument that's based on the credibility of the person that's making the argument.

Ethos simply means establishing the authority to speak on a particular object subject. It's the persuasion and the argument whereby the knowledge, good moral character and the credibility of the speaker is shown.

In this case, the example given isn't an example of ethos because dentists in this case is a broad term and therefore does not give credibility from a particular dentist or probably a dental research.
