Answer:
The author most likely includes this supporting text to <em><u>reinforce the case study's point that bird flu is dangerous</u></em>.
Explanation:
The book "When Birds Get Flu" by John DiConsiglio delves into real cases of how people contract the bird flu. The book discusses infection cases and how avian influenza or bird flu began in Washington.
In the statement from the book, the author remarks that <em>"one or two sick chickens could infect a whole town [which could in turn] infect the country—or even the world."</em> By emphasizing the seriousness and infection level of the flu, <u>John DiConsiglio seems to reinforce the dangerousness of the bird flu.</u>
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
Log is the object of the preposition because under is a preposition.
Answer:
It uses irony to show that despite her expectation of being missed by someone, no one seemed to have the same sentiment. rather, she found that her dog was the one digging, not because he missed her but to bury his bone. He also added that he had forgotten she was buried there.
Explanation:
The final stanza of the poem <em>"Oh, Are You Digging On My Grave?"</em> by Thomas Hardy shows a dead woman expecting someone would remember her. The lines goes like this-
<u><em>"Mistress, I dug upon your grave
</em></u>
<u><em>To bury a bone, in case
</em></u>
<u><em>I should be hungry near this spot
</em></u>
<u><em>When passing on my daily trot.
</em></u>
<u><em>I am sorry, but I quite forgot
</em></u>
<u><em>It was your resting-place."</em></u>
She heard someone digging her grave and then she began guessing who that would be, her husband 'who must have missed her' or her family or even her enemy. But it was none of them but rather her dog. Even then, she was happy to know that at least someone remembered her. Ironically, the dog wasn't there for her but rather to hide his bone in case he gets hungry on his walks. This irony in the scene's reality and the narrator's expectations shows how she must have been missed by someone. But it was nobody except her dog who wants to hide his bone not because he felt anything for her. Not only that, he also mentioned that he had quite forgotten that she was buried there.
