aming at television cameras, "Where are my children?" When he talked to the Washington Post reporters, he was careful not to discuss the more dramatic aspects of the operation.

Answer:

A). Explain some of the reasons for downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

Explanation:

As per the given excerpt from 'The Hot Zone', the author includes this paragraph most likely to 'describe and demonstrate a few of the reasons for reducing the seriousness of the situation'.

<em>The paragraph displays the effects or reactions if people learn about the hazard or danger that the 'Ebola virus' could bring to the place. This revelation could create panic('mothers screaming 'where are my children', jams heading, etc.)</em><em> </em><em>and among the people and therefore, the truth is required to be kept.</em> The author intends to display some reasons that why the seriousness or intensity of the situation was being downplayed by not revealing it to people as it may worsen the situation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Who speaks these words? Give the meaning of:
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Chief Seattle has said these words - “Yonder sky that has wept tears of compassion upon my people for centuries untold"

Explanation:

Chief Seattle was the chief of Red Indian or Native American Tribes. He is famous for his speech or ‘letter’ which was a response to the ‘land treaty’ of the Government of America. The treaty was about buying the native lands.  

These lines were uttered by him at the 'beginning' of the speech. He says that nature has given them everything that is needed for them to live on this earth. It never changed and remained eternal.

But he fears that due to human civilization, it may have a drastic change. If we don’t respect the values of the environment, this generation may have to face a lot of trouble.
