Answer:
The story of The Old Man With Enormous Wings reveals how humans may respond differently to who is weak, dependent or different. It has moments of compassion but mostly of cruelty throughout the story, because of the old man intriguing presence.
His human body with the unexpected wings looks not completely human nor magical or surreal. His human side is shown by his filth, disease and infirmity. Also by his rare reactions to the others that gathered to watch him and seek for healing and comfort.
The doctor was amazed that such an unhealthy man could still live and also how the old man's wing seemed natural. The narrator speak of the "lunar dust", "stellar parasites" and the "consolation miracles" bringing his genuine supernatural qualities, but keeping his nature a mystery.
The story goes around the old man and the poor family he appears to. They couldn't understand him and just kept him there because their son got better from a serious disease. They basically gave him food for they wouldn't be responsible if he died, but they kept him locked in the kitchen coop, attracting many curious. They started to get real wealthy charging the people fees to watch the old man. After the curiosity was over they were able to change their life and build a new home. Later on maybe regretting for the way they treated the old man that one day just flew away.

Answer: The correct answers are 1-increase pluralistic ignorance 2- less likely to assume it's an emergency situation

Pluralistic ignorance is a concept in social psychology that refers to a situation in which a group of people reject certain norms or behavior but go along with it because they feel and assume (Sometimes incorrectly) that other people accept it.
Pluralistic ignorance can explain the By-stander effect that leads people to think "if no one is saying anything or doing anything then I'm not going to say or do anything".
In this particular case, Gillian heard a squeal of brakes and a crash. She looks around and notices that no one was affected by that noise and subsequently she stays calm.
Answer:
Challenge
Explanation:
Challenging activities tend to be a great motivator for people. This happens because many people get satisfaction from having to overcome some particular level of difficulty and find it rewarding to being able to overcome this difficulty and continue on.
In the example, video game players state that they <u>"enjoy finding new and creative ways to work through video games" </u>and <u>"find very rewarding to get to the next level"</u>.
Both statements indicate how much they enjoy the challenge of coming up with creative solutions or ways to get to the next level and they find this rewarding. Thus, we can say that they see video games as a challenging activity and view challenge as a motivator for engaging in game playing.
