read this passage from "the city without us' by alan weisman:
never cut, but mightily changed. until only recently, it was
known as the hemlock forest for its shady stands of that
graceful conifer, but almost every hemlock here is now!
dead, slain by a japanese insect smaller than the period at
the end of this sentence, which arrived in new york in the
mid-1980s.
which statement best explains how irony is used in the passage?
o
a. an insect nearly microscopic in size is responsible for felling a
forest of conifers.
o
b. human beings cannot be blamed for the death of the hemlock
forest.
o
c. the destruction of the hemlock forest occurred only as recently
as the 1980s.
d. an insect imported from japan is the cause of the decimation of an entire force

the answer is:

d. a story that frightened readers so much they would become suspicious of their surroundings

frankenstein is one of the terror novels wrote by the writers in a sort of bet, lord byron challenged them all to write a ghost story, and the story came to mary shelley in a dream, she wanted to conect with the fears of her society, fears of technology and changes, and she wanted readers to look around, freightened.

explanation:

mark brainliest and have a great day!

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x

yes this is an analog in my view
