In the final stages of _______, a patient's immune response is severely diminished.a. the common cold
b. AIDS
c. smallpox
d. cancer

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The common cold is not the answer.

Reason:
Colds last at least for 2-3 days and is harmless. The symptoms, which is sneezing, coughing, etc... happens because it releases the bacteria that has entered the body. A patient with a common cold will actually have an improved immune system because its defensing skills improve. 

Smallpox is not the answer.

Reason:
Smallpox, just like chickenpox, doesn't harm the immunity that much. Instead, the skin is mostly irritated and people could survive it.

Cancer and AIDS both do severely effect the patient but AIDS effects the Immunity more.

AIDS: Stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The name explains it. It severely damages the immune system at its final stage and may end up killing the patient. 

However, Cancer is slowly passed to the other organs which weakens the immune system but the answer you are looking for is AIDS. (B)

Hope I helped. :)

One incident that I can think of was when my close friend had her internship at a place where the inhabitants were mostly Muslims. She trembles at the sight of them and she's hardly herself when she sees them. She's a good person, not at all racist and judgmental, but her fear seems to have sprung forth from news about extremists. 

Which of the following sentences contains a verb in the future tense

Answers

I don't know which of the following sentences you have to choose from, but a future tense sentence looks something like this:

"We are going to go to Hawaii this summer!" She exclaimed.

The girl in this example is telling her friends what is going to happen, therefore it's set in the future tense. Another example is:

The school group was going to go to the park to see the ballgame. 

The future tense is basically explaining or saying something that hasn't happened yet or is going to happen.
If you wanna know future tense it will most likely have will or will have(future perfect)

After doing a close reading, why should you analyze the figurative language in a text? to reveal the author's backgroundto reveal hidden meanings
to understand characterization
to understand the setting
to understand the tone

Answers

Answer : to reveal hidden meanings

Figurative language refers to the word or words used in a sentence that carries a different meaning from its literal meaning. Making use of a literal language simply means that the author is only stating facts, nothing less and nothing more. Most of the time, figurative language uses exaggerations and even flowery words to make certain point.  Symbolism, hyperbole, simile, metaphor are some of the common examples of figurative language. It is very necessary to be able to analyze the figurative language in a text in order to find out the hidden or the real meaning of it because usually the meaning of the figurative language is different from what you thought it is.

and for the second its B

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means?

-calm
-innocent
-gloomy
-passionate

Answers

Answer:

Passionate

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author describes Della's spirit as bright. A bright spirit usually means cheerful etc., so that automatically crosses gloomy, innocent, and calm.

Excerpt from The Ultimate Fighting ChampionshipMary O'Dell5 However, we must take into consideration the claims that too many rules actually encourage shady promoters to arrange unsanctioned “no holds barred” matches. Serious injuries would increase. Without a doubt, fans are drawn to the battles. But most fans share an esprit de corps. They are interested in a fair fighting match to determine physical and strategic superiority. The thrill is cheering for the best fighter, the one who can adapt to any style the opponent uses.
