Answer:

I think this means that mankind never changes or tries to learn from their mistakes, all we do is create more chaos and instead of trying to fix this chaos, we look past it and try to grasp new knowledge of things.

The gate swung silently inward “there had never been a gate here before” thought Bella..... Can someone make a suspenseful 300 w
enot [183]

Bella   ran   out the  house  towards  the  woods  to  look  for  shelter.  It  was  a  dark,  silent  night  of  October...One  could  hear  the  owls  and  wolves  in  the  distance.


She  ran  untiringly  until  she  arrived  to  a  hill.  "How  strange"  she  thought  to  herself,  when  she  saw  a  brown  wooden  gate  that  lead  inside  the  hill.  The  gate  had  a  green  light  on  top  and  a  "Warning"  sign  sticked  to  it.


The  gate  swung  silentry  inward  "There  had  never  been  a  gate  here  before"  thought  Bella,  although  she  felt  extremely  curious  about  it  and  she  decided  to  open  it.


It  was  completely  dark  inside,  Bella  could  not  even  see  her  hands  and  she  felt  like  it  was  a  dream,  like  suddenly  nothing  existed  anymore.  After  a  few  minutes  of  being  in  complete  trance,  she  heard  rain  falling  and  suddenly  she  remembered  she  was  in  this  weird,  dark  place  that  seemed  to  had  appeared  out  of  nowhere.   "I'll  go  out  and  try  to  find  another  place  to  stay"  she  thought,  "this  place  is  too  scary".


Nevertheless,  the  second  she  turned  to  the  door  trying  to  go  out,  the  door  slammed,  making  a  very  loud  noise.  Bella  tried  to  open  it  but  it  was  stuck.  Suddenly,  a  path  of  lights  appeared  and  Bella  decided  to  follow  it,  thinking  that  perhaps  she  could  find  another  exit.


After  walking  for  miles,  she  finally  saw  a  way  out  to  that  place.  There  was  another  door,  similar  to  the  one  she  entered  first.  She opened  it  and  she  was  thrown  to  a  forest,  "This  place  looks  familiar"  she  thought  to  herself  and  decided  to  go  take  a  look.  The forest  was,  indeed,  identical  to  the  one  where  she  lived;  The  only  difference  was  that  there  was  a  river  in  this  new  forest,  which  did  not  exist  at  her  home  town.  The  water  was  crystal  clear  and  she  could  see  her  reflection  on  it...  "AAH!"  Bella  screamed  when  she  saw a  shadow  behind  herself  and  quickly  look  behind...  Someone  had  been  following  her...

ASAP In "Exhalation," what is the "inscription hypothesis"?
Tems11 [23]

In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.

For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.

Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.

He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
