Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which line from the text best explains why the author suggests we start carrying video cameras?

You may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable
The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add
With individual memories all jumbled up with each other

Hello. Although you have presented the text to which this question refers, you have not presented the question itself, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, to try to help you, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope this will be useful.

As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare that tells the tragic story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet, that, although they love each other, they belong to enemy families. In the city where Romeo and Juliet live, there is a law that anyone who kills someone on the street will be killed. Well, Romeo killed Julieta's cousin, after being teased by him and after he married her, without the family of any of them knowing. In order not to be killed, he flees the city and Juliet is in tears for the death of her cousin and for the exile of her husband.

The scene shown above, shows the moment when Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, watches her daughter cry in despair. Lady Capulet does not know that Juliet married Romeo and thinks that her daughter is crying solely for the death of her cousin. This is an example of dramatic irony, which occurs when the audience knows about something, but the characters don't. That's because while the audience knows the real reason Juliet is crying, her mother doesn't know.

Answer:

B.  Juliet is relieved to know that Romeo is safe from harm.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question:

Circle context clues that help you understand the underlined expression. Then rewrite the underlined expression in your own words.

The king's face was like a thundercloud when he heard the news. He frowned at the messenger and slammed the door.

Answer:

The context clues are: frowned, slammed the door.

Rewritten phrase: The king was furious at the news, to the point of frowning and slamming the door.

Explanation:

Context clues are expressions or words that are placed in a text to help in the perception of the meaning of other difficult or unknown words or expressions. We can see in the text above, that the words "frouned" and "slammed the door" help the reader to realize that the expression "The king's face was like a thundercloud" showing that the king was furious when he heard the news that the messenger announced. That's because only an angry person would frown and hit the door hard.

Lily drummed her fingers on the desk. Where can Cathy be? she wondered worryingly. Cathy had promised to bring the English project that had taken all month long to create. Now, Cathy wasn't here, and the presentation was going to begin in 10 minutes. She better be here soon, Lily thought. Lily sought out Cathy for a partner when they were first assigned the project. Lily really wanted to work with Cathy because Cathy was an extremely hard worker and always received the highest grades. Lily needed a few of those high grades to get through the year, and Cathy was just the person Lily needed. They met a few times until Lily became overwhelmed by the amount of work that needed to go into the project. They needed to have an essay, a display board, a slide presentation, and a set of handouts. "I really can't do this, Cathy. There's so much work to do, and I have other classes with homework," Lily had declared. "You have the same classes I have," Cathy had said, a little taken aback. Lily had replied with hints of flattery, "Well, I'm not as smart as you are, so I can't juggle all of these classes. So, you can just bring our project on the due date." After that day, Lily never talked to Cathy again. Whenever Lily happened to think about the project while hanging out with her friends, she was sure that Cathy was working away on the project. She hadn't worried about the project until now. Lily stared at the second hand on the clock; it moved too quickly. "Class, let's begin with our presentations since it'll take all period. Let's have Cathy and Lily's project first," Mr. Barrett announced. Lily looked around and saw no relief coming her way. 7 Select the correct answer.

Friendly Medical Center's mission focuses on inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation of the severely injured and catastrophically ill. While the patient census aried from month to month, it appeared to the Friendly Medical Center Board of Trustees that the inpatient population was slowly but steadily declining. The hospital's market researchers reported that fewer people were being severely injured due to the popularity of seat belts and bicycle/motorcycle helmets. In order to get a handle on the future of the organization, the Board, and the CEO, Fred Splient M.D. called for a major strategic planning effort to take place. In January 20X6, Friendly Medical Center held a planning retreat to identify future opportunities. The outcome of the retreat was that the Medical Center needed to focus its fforts around two major strategic initiatives. The first, a short-run initiative, was to be more cost-effective in the delivery of inpatient care. The second, a long-run strategy, was to develop new programs and services that would capitalize on the existing, highly competent rehabilitation therapy staff and Friendly Medical Center excellent reputation in the region At the time of the retreat, Fred Splient's parents were living with him and his family. Fred was active member of the "sandwich generation." His parents were aging and developing many problems common to the geriatric populace. Their increased medical needs were beginning to wear on Fred and his family. It crossed Fred's mind that life might be more pleasant if the hospital Board approved an expansion of the Medical Center's campus to include living facility ssisted In March 20x6, Fred had his Business Development team prepare a rough estimate of the potential return on the investment of an assisted living facility. He asked the team to identify different options for facility construction and the associated costs. The team also did a complete competitive analysis and examined the options for services to be offered based on Friendly Medical Center's potential population base and catchment area. The Business Development team visited several facilities across the country. The team also interviewed companies that could oversee the design, building, and operation of the facility for Friendly Medical Center. The development team produced a preliminary business plan based on the recommended structure for the facility, estimated capital expenditure needs, estimated income from operation of the facility, as well as projected revenues to other Medical Center programs resulting from the facility's population. The plan was presented at the May 20X6 meeting of the Board of Trustees. Fred Splient and his team introduced the Board to the concept of opening an assisted living facility on Friendly Medical Center's campus. The facility would be set up as a for-profit subsidiary of the Medical Center so that it could generate a profit and not be subjected to the strict guidelines of the hospital's accrediting agencies. As a subsidiary organization, however, the Board would still have control The chosen facility design was a freestanding apartment-like facility with a sheltered connection to the Hospital for access to the kitchen and hospital services. The facility would have 100 units with 15 to 30 of the units classified as "heavy-assisted" and built to code to house the physically and medically disabled. The rest of the units would be "light-assisted larger apartments. The population would be approximately 110 to 150 residents, with most being single occupants rather than couples
