by Nikolai Gogol
For several minutes Plushkin stood mute, while
Chichikov remained so dazed with the appearance of the
host and everything else in the room, that he too, could not
begin a conversation, but stood wondering how best to
find words in which to explain the object of his visit. For a
while he thought of expressing himself to the effect that,
having heard so much of his host's benevolence and other
rare qualities of spirit, he had considered it his duty to
come and pay a tribute of respect; but presently even HE
came to the conclusion that this would be overdoing the
thing, and, after another glance round the room, decided
that the phrase "benevolence and other rare qualities of
spirit" might to advantage give place to "economy and
genius for method."
Accordingly, the speech mentally composed, he said
aloud that, having heard of Plushkin's talents for thrifty
and systematic management, he had considered himself
bound to make the acquaintance of his host, and to
present him with his personal compliments.
C.
Causal conversation is common.
D.
Personal expression is dangerous.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
