Consider this theme: appearances can be deceiving. which excerpt from frankenstein best supports this theme? a. "i have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds [people's] eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster."b. "i was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. make me happy, and i shall again be virtuous."c. "cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in which you first saw light! cursed (although i curse myself) be the hands that formed you! you have made me wretched beyond expression."d. i knew well, therefore, what would be my father's feelings; but i could not tear my thoughts from my employment.

b would be your answer due to the specifics of   it.

explanation:

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
