b. transformation
Explanation:
Transforming principle was an early name for DNA. In 1928, scientists didn't know yet that DNA carried genetic information, but they knew that there was something that could cause bacteria to transform from one type to another.

Answer:
D. anti-Assad, anti-ISIS
Explanation:
Throughout the Syrian Civil War, which started in 2011 and is still ongoing, the United States has always been in opposition to the regime of Bashar Al Assad.
The reason is that Assad's regime is pro-Russia, and Russia is one of the most important geopolitical adversaries of the United States (the other being China).
The United States also became anti-ISIS when this terrorist group emerged. The United States was crucial in the eventual almost total defeat of ISIS. Currently, ISIS only holds a small patch of land in central Syria.

Explanation:
The whole dialogue in the passage is told using reported speech. In other words,<u> it is the narrator who tells us what the characters said, rather than the characters themselves</u>. When using the reported speech, the verb tense often changes into the past. Take a look at the example below:
- Direct speech: Lana said, "I <u>want</u> to be a lawyer."
- Reported speech: Lana said that she wanted to be lawyer.
For that reason, when completing the passage above, it is better if we choose options that use the past instead of the present. We must also pay attention to coherence. If an option mixes both present and past, it is most likely incorrect. Having that in mind, the best way to complete the passage is by using the following:
when he grew up, he wanted
that he would have to study hard
father would have to work hard
Answer:
Posttraumatic growth
Explanation:
In psychology, the term posttraumatic growth refers to the positive personality change that happens as a result of experiencing traumatic life events.
We usually think of traumatic life events as something negative, but actually, some people actually find that a traumatic event can have a transformational role in personality and it facilitates growth.
In this case, Brandon witnessed the attack of a close friend. He then developed a greater appreciation for life, his relationships became more meaningful and he became more involved with his faith. <u>Brandon experienced a traumatic event as a witness of the attack. However, this event had a transformational role in his personality </u>and therefore we can say that this response exemplifies posttraumatic growth.
