Nelson Dellis's motive is personal. His paternal grandmother, who died in 2009, suffered from Alzheimer’s.

Nelson was stunned: "I couldn’t believe that she could forget—I mean, she hadn’t forgotten, because she was talking about me." But she was unable to connect her memory to the young man at her table. "I had the idea of 'I don’t want that to happen to me.' "

For decades, humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs to exhibit exaggerated features – particularly in their faces. When it comes to cats, the very flat, round faces of the modern Persian and Exotic Shorthair are classic examples. These breeds are likely a result of humans’ preference for infant-like features that may directly tap in to our nurturing instincts.

While it might be cute for humans to look at, there are various downsides for the animals when it comes to looking this way. This can cause all sorts of health issues as well as breathing difficulties and, in dogs, an increased risk of fatal conditions such as heatstroke.

Select the (❌) WRONG statement.

– Due to selective breeding of pets, some cat breeds now exhibit extremely flat and round faces.
– Breeding of cats is more focused on optical features, breeding of dogs on behavioral aspects.
– Extreme breeding features can lead to health issues and even to fatal conditions in pets.

30. Read the following text:

Chameleons have two layers within their skin that control their color. The top layer contains a lattice of guanine nanocrystals. Exciting the lattice increases the distance between the nanocrystals, and the skin reflects longer wavelengths of light. Thus, in a relaxed state the crystals reflect blue, but in an excited state the longer wavelengths such as yellow, orange, green, and red are reflected.

The skin of a chameleon also contains some yellow pigments, which combined with the blue reflected by a relaxed crystal lattice results in the characteristic green color which is common of many chameleons in their relaxed state. Chameleon color palettes have evolved through evolution and the environment. Chameleons living in the forest have a more defined and colorful palette compared to those living in the desert or savanna, which have more of a basic, brown, and charred palette.

Generally, while relaxing, chameleons are observed to be green in color, why is this?

– In a relaxed state, the guanine crystal lattice reflects green light.
– In a relaxed state, the crystal lattice absorbs the wavelength range of green light.
– Blue light reflected by Guanine + yellow pigments available on chameleon skin = green skin color.
– Chameleons have natural green skin that undergoes color change with respect to circumstances.

A computer analyzes images to determine if they are tampered or untampered. A percentage value is output for each analyzed image. The higher the percentage, the greater the chance of the image being edited.

After analyzing a set of images, this percentage was most commonly between 13% and 77%.

Surprisingly, values below 5% and above 95% were also output frequently, which likely indicates a flaw in the algorithm used for the analysis.

Select the (❌) WRONG interpretation.

– A value of 100% was not the most commonly received.
– Values above 95% were expected to be the most frequent.
– Generally, images that produce low values should be more likely to be untampered.
– The analysis returned unexpected results that should not have been possible.
– The percentage value indicates the likelihood of the image being edited.
