Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.
RNA viruses can copy themselves which is harder for scientists to give an accurate conclusion to solve them.
These are few examples of ecosystem services. These are conditions or processes of natural systems that directly or indirectly have a benefit to humans or enhance their social welfare. They include purification of water and air, maintenance of biodiversity, soil and vegetation generation and renewal, seed dispersal, greenhouse gas mitigation among other services.
I believe it would be 'D' because reprimand means to rebuke something.
Threatened means they are lowering in numbers and nearing to be endangered.
Endangered means they are dangerously close to being extinct
Extinct means there is none of them left in the wild.
I hope this is what you meant.
