Nancy took a breath and gathered her thoughts. She imagined that passing through the gray-zone door into Level 4 was like a space walk, except that instead of going into outer space, you went into inner space, which was full of the pressure of life trying to get inside your suit. People went into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute, particularly the civilian animal caretakers. But going into a containment zone to perform a necropsy on an animal that had died of an amplified unknown hot agent was something a little different. This was high-hazard work. –The Hot Zone, Richard Preston What is the central idea of this excerpt from The Hot Zone?
Animal necropsies are done only by trained professionals.
People go into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute.
Entering Level 4 is like going into inner space.
Working in a containment zone is very dangerous.

D). Working in a containment zone is very dangerous.

Explanation:

The central or overarching idea that the author intends to convey through the given excerpt is that 'Working in a containment zone is fatal' as such a zone is 'full of the pressure...to get inside your suit.' The language that the author has chosen to describe the environment of the zone and the phrases like 'amplified unknown hot agent; high-hazard work' clearly substantiate this key idea that the author is highlighting. He calls it 'gray-zone' which emphasizes his idea and he also says 'people went into Level 4 which is like a spacewalk' that discloses the gravity of hazards faced by people working there. Thus, option D is the correct answer as it reveals the key idea of threats and dangers of working containment zones.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
