Mengele took his turn as the selector on the ramp, but unlike most of the other selectors, he arrived sober. With a small flick of his finger or riding crop, a person would either be sent to the left or to the right, to the gas chamber or to hard labor. Mengele would get very excited when he found twins. The other SS officers who helped unload the transports had been given special instructions to find twins, dwarfs, giants or anyone else with a unique hereditary trait like a club foot. After the twins had been taken from their parents, they were taken to the showers. Since they were "Mengele's children," they were treated differently than other prisoners. Though they suffered through medical experiments, the twins were often allowed to keep their hair and allowed to keep their own clothes.

Hope this helps

Explanation:

He got excited by twins and would get as many of them as possible. While he also took anyone who had a odd genetic thing, twins were his favorite. because they were Mengele's, they were treated differently then other prisoners. they were given better food, they could keep their hair, and they were given nicer beds, but they went through terrible experiments. what would happen, normally, was one twin would be experimented on with illnesses and surguries or how long they could survive at certain tempuratures while the other twin was the control of the experiment. when one twin died, the other twin was murdered and disected to see if the twins were identical on the inside too. there was one set of twins that mengele sewed together to create fused twins. they, sadly, died soon after. His rational for these experiments was how he was looking for the genetic reason for how to make more twins so more aryan twins were born.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
