My cell phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it; Valerie is persistent. When she wants something, she will continue to hara

ss me until I give in.
"Hello," I answer.

"State Fair, Bobbie?" she asks in her singsong voice. "When are we heading out? Only two more days left!"

I abhor the State Fair. The boisterous crowds, the insanely long lines, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I utterly detest.

For Valerie, my best friend since middle school, the State Fair is a sign that divine powers really do exist.

"Really, Bobbie, where else can you pet a cow, ride a horse, fall ten stories, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried macaroni and cheese?" Valerie asks gleefully.

"Hades?" I guess.

The fried food at the State Fair is a gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried pickle at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried donut hamburger with bacon, cheese, AND a greasy egg? How could that not be deleterious? Consuming a single serving of fair food has the potential to take years off your life. And I think about this. But then my better nature takes hold, and an image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. By and by, my hatred of the State Fair becomes inconsequential compared to my desire to spend time with Val. Besides, I don't have to eat the disgusting fair food. I can simply admire it from a safe distance.

Alas, I ignore my anti-fair bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon," I say and hang up the phone.
According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because

A. Valerie convinces her using a tempting description
B. Valerie coerces her using peer pressure
C. she recognizes that she does not have to eat fair food
D. she wants to spend time with Valerie

The first one in the box is agree are disagree then tell me why you agree or disagree
Dimas [21]

Answer:

his study aimed to evaluate the possibility of cotton waste enrichment with glycine betaine (GB) for production of two strains (P9, P10) of king oyster (Pleurotus eryngii). Cotton waste was used as (100%) control (T0 = cotton waste) and augmented with various combinations of GB, (T1 = 2 mmol L−1, T2 = 4 mmol L−1, T3 = 6 mmol L−1, T4 = 8 mmol L−1 and T5 = 10 mmol L−1). The response of king oyster to GB was evaluated by earliness, yield, biological efficiency (BE), minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca)), total sugars, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, non‐reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, proximate (crude protein, carbohydrates, crude fibers, ash, fats) content of fruiting body and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis compared with the control substrate (cotton waste).

RESULTS

The earliness, yield, and BE were higher as compared to control substrate and increased with an augmentation in the concentration of GB within the cotton waste. Two strains showed (on dry weight basis) 33.9–54.9 mg g−1 nitrogen, 6.8–12.5 mg g−1 phosphorus, 16.9–25.1 mg g−1 potassium, 40.5–64.2 mg kg−1 Zn, 17.1–37.3 mg kg−1 Cu, 1174–1325 mg kg−1 Mg, 20.1–29.1 mg kg−1 Mn, 129–265 mg kg−1 Fe, 779–835 mg kg−1 Ca), 6.3%–11.3% total sugars, 7.3–14.9 °Brix total soluble solids, 2.1–7.3% reducing sugars, 10.4–18.1% crude protein, 3.6–4.4% crude fiber and 5.6–16.7 mg (100 g)‐1 on various concentration of GB enrich cotton waste. Cotton waste enriched with GB significantly affected nutritional profile of king oyster mushroom.

CONCLUSION

The results revealed that GB enriched cotton waste can be used as an innovative substrate to enhance the yield and quality of king oyster mushroom.

Why Hamlet thinks that Ophelia should go to a nunnery? (HAMLET)
son4ous [18]

Hamlet feels that is where a woman has a best chance at being faithful, and where she will cause the least amount of damage. After all, as he tells Ophelia also, "why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?"; in a nunnery, she won't have children and bear wicked men-like his uncle-that do awful things.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Narration

Explanation:

The plot of the story 'The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World' by Gabriel García Márquez belongs to genre of magic realism. The narration develops the character of Esteban. From the beginning when the children see him as 'whale' to 'the tallest man, strongest, most virile, and best built man'. Women of the village sigh and say 'he' ours'. The arrival of Esteban transforms the whole village, men work to find out a suitable burial for him, women bring more flowers for him. Everything in the village will be different since 'memory' of Esteban will remain forever and village is itself called 'Esteban's village'.
