Which statement best evaluates the author's response to the counterclaim that because antibiotics have proven effective in many situations, prescribing an antibiotic is a sound first step for doctors? a. It is effective because the author cites and explains a statistic to illustrate that even though antibiotics work in some situations, they are still often not prescribed correctly.
b. It is effective because the author uses an emotional personal anecdote, which gives her credibility and supports the idea that antibiotics are not always effective.
c. It is ineffective because the author relies heavily on a personal anecdote as opposed to facts and statistics that refute the opposing claim.
d. It is ineffective because the author includes a statistic, but the statistic does not directly support the assertion that prescribing an antibiotic is often the best course of action.

answer: c

explanation:

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.
