C. J. knew that if people learned what this virus could do, there would be traffic jams heading out of Reston, with mothers scre

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.

He was careful not to use scary military terms such as virus amplification, lethal chain of transmission, crash and bleed, or major pucker factor.The author most likely included this paragraph to:_______.

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.

Why do books pages turn yellow or brown when done reading them?​
Inga [223]
Books that are surrounded by oxygen will turn yellow, so basically, all books since oxygen is constantly surrounding us. Oxygen-rich conditions are very bad for paper, which gives them the yellow tiny. This is actually called lignin oxidation! Lignin oxidation gives it a yellow or brown colour as you said. Yellow comes first, then brown after.

I hope this helped a bit! :)
