Answer:

A)Yang's team's research will contribute to the creation of new materials.

Explanation:

A central argument in this Newsela article by Susanne Bard is that the discoveries made by the scientist Wen Yang and her team, who studied the human hair will be helpful in producing new materials such as very strong ropes that cannot easily cut during rescue operations.

This aspect of scientific research mimics the natural order of things so as to help scientists in innovating new products that will be beneficial to man. Yang hopes to streamline this new discovery to the Nano level before it can be harnessed by manufacturers.

Answer:

Although it might not have surprised you to hear that we can often predict people’s behaviors if we know their thoughts and their feelings about the attitude object, you might be surprised to find that our actions also have an influence on our thoughts and feelings. It makes sense that if I like strawberry jam, I’ll buy it, because my thoughts and feelings about a product influence my behavior. But will my attitudes toward orange marmalade become more positive if I decide—for whatever reason—to buy it instead of jam?

It turns out that if we engage in a behavior, and particularly one that we had not expected that we would have, our thoughts and feelings toward that behavior are likely to change. This might not seem intuitive, but it represents another example of how the principles of social psychology—in this case, the principle of attitude consistency—lead us to make predictions that wouldn’t otherwise be that obvious.

Imagine that one Tuesday evening in the middle of the semester you see your friend Joachim. He’s just finished his dinner and tells you that he’s planning to head home to study and work on a term paper. When you see him the next day, however, he seems a bit shaken. It turns out that instead of going home to study, Joachim spent the entire evening listening to music at a rock club in town. He says that he had a great time, stayed up late to watch the last set, and didn’t get home until the crack of dawn. And he woke up so late this morning that he missed his first two classes.

Who or what do you think is more threatening and dangerous: the island and its dangers or the boys themselves? Why? LORD OF THE
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Landing on the Island

For the boys of Lord of the Flies, the island represents both their temporary home as well as their prison. There is no escape, unless they can signal to a passing boat or plane using a fire. From what they can tell, it 'was roughly boat-shaped: humped near this end with behind them the jumbled descent to the shore. On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail.' The primary parts of the island are the the mountain on one end of the island; Castle Rock, a pink stone formation on the other end; the beach where the boys washed up after the plane crash; the jungle in the middle of the island; and the lagoon, 'a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end.' In this apparent paradise, the boys initially think of themselves as kings unfettered by the demands of grownups. While the island appears to be a place of freedom, it actually traps the boys, physically and mentally.
