Answer:

A. Bloodletting was used to balance the four  humors, as imbalance of the four humors was  believed to be the cause of disease.

Explanation:

The article you were given is the following:

Bloodletting represents the folly of the past, the sorcery and the misguided physiology that we now proudly say marked the dark ages of medicine - or did it? In fact, bloodletting has a place in medicine today and a history that is worthy of review.

The Four Humors

he traditionally held "Father of Medicine" was the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC), who taught medicine on the island of Cos. One of his major precepts was the rule of harmony, the theory that all body systems were in balance and that disease resulted from an imbalance. Galen (130-201 AD) was the physician to Marcus Aurelius and became the heir to Hippocrates and one of the most influential physicians of all times. He taught the importance of maintaining balance between the four bodily fluids, or "humors": blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Each fluid was associated with a specific personality characteristic. Blood was associated with a sanguine personality, that is laughter, music, and a passionate disposition. Someone with a phlegmatic personality was sluggish and dull, while yellow bile represented an individual quick to anger or choleric (cholera meaning yellow as in yellow fever). Lastly, black bile represented a melancholic or depressed personality, melan meaning black. It was the job of the physician to restore harmony in those four humors by the use of emetics, cathartics, purgatives, and by bloodletting. Bleeding was used to reduce excess circulation, to slow the pulse, and to "reduce irritation", all felt to be the cause of inflammation. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a major figure in colonial American medicine and was an important proponent of bleeding, though unfortunately he mistakenly thought that the body held 12 instead of 6 quarts. Shortly before his death, George Washington was bled 4 ‡ quarts in 24 hours for an infected throat and died not long after.

Early transfusion was based on the notion that giving blood would help balance the humors. On June 15, 1667, Jean Davis replaced part of a patient's blood with sheep's blood though the patient died and Dr. Davis was subsequently accused of murder. Transfusion was set back until the 19th century, well before blood typing was understood.

The topic is the general subject of a piece of writing. The main topic is the one that is the most prominent, the one the text is mostly dedicated to.

The main topic of this article is that bloodletting was used to balance the four humors, as the imbalance of the four humors was  believed to be the cause of disease. As we can see, most of the article is dedicated to what bloodletting was used for, why it was used, and the origin of such use. This is why option A is the correct one.

The rest of the options are incorrect because they are just details. Option B is a detail related to bloodletting, while options C and D are related to transfusions, which are not the main topic.

Problem, Cause, and Solution PIE Paragraphs

One of the systemic education problems is that the financial aid system doesn’t offer financial help to students. For example, When students doesn’t recive financial help they are just worry about how they going to pay for their tuition. When they don’t have money to pay for they tuition they might thinking in not continue with school. In the memoir Educated, Tara Westover had this problem when she first started school at Brigham Young University. Westover (2018) wrote, “My bank account decreased steadily, I had been worried that I might not pass my classes, but a month into the semester, after I’d paid tuition and rent and bought food and books, I began to think that even if I pass I wouldn’t be coming back to school for one obvious reason: I couldn’t afford it” (p. 239). Westover said that she might not continue with school because she doesn’t have enough money to pay her rent and her tuition. If financial aid provides her help, she might not be thinking in leave the shcool. This concludes that the financial help system is a big problem with students’ education.
The first cause of this problem comes from student parent income. Financial aid offer financial help to students based on they parent income. The financial aid system assumes that a if a student parent income is high enough they will be able to cover their son or doughter tuition. For example, I have a friend who was studying at Skagit valley college she couldn’t qualified for financial aid because her parent’s income was too high. Financial aid thought that her parent would help her because their income was high enough. What financial did not know is that her parent wouldn’t help her pay for college tuition. This leads her to stop with her education and looks for work so she can save money to pay for college.
The second, cause is that they are hard on the requirement. Financial aid require students to be a full time student in order to qualify for financial aid. When financial aid require student to take 3 classes, they can not learn all the material that they are studying When student take more than three classes, they can not learn what they are studying because is too much for their brain. For example in “ A Glossary of Common Lerning Terms.” John Webster’s ( 2020) wrote, “Our brains work easily with a few concepts or numbers at once, but when we work with more than three to five entities the “load” begins to get heavy.” This what happened to student when the financial aid require them to take three classes. When student take three classes it is difficul for them to learn all the three subject they are studying. Their brain can’t process well all the information they are learning. This leads to a bad GPA at the end of the quarter because they did not perform well on the assignment because it was too much information for their brain.
First solution is that financial aid should not offer financial aid help base on students parent income. Not all parent help their son or daughter to pay for college. For example as I mention before my friend parent didn’t help her to pay for her college tuition. Even her parent income was high they didn’t help her to pay for her college tuition. This is what many student face todays their parent income does not have nothing to do with them. For this reason financial aid should not focus on student parent income in order to offer them financial aid. Financial aid system should help students independently not base on their parent income.



A solution to financial aid system problem is to change the hard requirement that they have on students. For example the financial aid should provide financial aid for part time students and not just for full time students. If financial aid don’t change their requirement, students are more likely are more to not continue with their education. For example, one of my other frind coldn’t qualified for financial aid because she was a part time students. Since she couldn’t qualified for financial aid she stop attending college. The last time I talk with her she told me that she might not come back to college because she work and she can not be a full time student. For For this reason, financial aid needs to change the hard requirement and be able to help all students no matter if they are part time or full time students by doing this financial aid will help students to achieve their goals.

Basketball players commonly use the backboard, the rectangular board behind the basketball hoop, to help
them make shots players can bounce, or "bank," the ball off the board and into the hoop. But this was not
the original purpose of backboards. To place the first basketball hoops high off the ground, the inventor of
basketball, James A. Naismith, nailed them to the balcony of the gymnasium. However, when a shot was
taken, fans sitting on the front row of the balcony could interfere with the ball. Naismith attached the hoop to
a backboard to prevent fan interference, not to help players.
Question
According to the passage, which of the following is true of the backboard in basketball?
o It can interfere with players' shots, causing them to miss the hoop.
o It was a part of the very first basketball game.
o Its original purpose was to keep spectators from touching the ball
O It is not commonly used by today's players.
