Text 1
Through a combination of luck and perhaps cruelty, Beaumont’s work has since led several scholarships, awards, and buildings to be named in his honor. Despite his unethical research methods, Beaumont’s findings about the digestive tract have paved the way for further research in this field and have even led him to be called the Father of Gastric Physiology.
Text 2
Beaumont realized he could use St. Martin’s unique wound to learn more about the mechanisms behind digestion—he just needed St. Martin to participate. Beaumont decided to ask St. Martin to sign a document, and St. Martin, being unable to read, had no idea he was signing away his rights. As he signed that document, St. Martin became a legally bound test-subject. In the over 200 subsequent experiments on St. Martin, Beaumont was able to gain an understanding of the human digestive system. Based on the texts, the opinion of the author of Text 1 about the treatment of St. Martin in Text 2 would most likely be

Text 1 is an adaptation from the newspaper The Record-Union on January 30, 1893. It records the events that occurred in Hawaii that led to the annexation of the island chain for the United States, including the resignation of Hawaii’s last monarch, Queen Liliuokalani. Text 2 is an excerpt from the obituary of Queen Liliuokalani upon her death as recorded in The Union Times on November 15, 1917.
Text 1
The commissioners are here on their way to Washington, and simply state that their instructions are to get the consent of our government to annex the islands . . . [Upon her abdication, Queen Liliuokalani stated:] “I, Liliuokalani, by grace of God and under the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen, do hereby solemnly protest against any and all acts done against myself and the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a provisional government of and for this Kingdom.”
Text 2
The queen’s bold attempt to deprive the white residents of any voice in the affairs of government led to prompt retaliatory measures. The
businessmen of the community named a “committee of safety,” which proceeded immediately with the formation of a provisional government and the reorganization of the volunteer military companies which had been disbanded in 1890 . . .

Text 1
The great abundance of microplastics in marine and other environments is very detrimental to the ecosystem. In Japan, plasticeating bacteria were discovered in a landfill. Since then, much research has been devoted to optimizing these bacteria so that they can eat
plastic more quickly. It seems clear that plastic-eating bacteria are the most likely solution to our plastic crisis because the amount of plastic in the environment has built up to a point where it is already damaging the ecosystem.
Text 2
Right now, almost all of the plastics in the ocean are in macroscopic objects, but if they are broken down by plastic-eating bacteria, an explosion in the amount of microplastics in the ocean seems inevitable. This massive accumulation in microplastics could have an extremely detrimental effect on the ocean’s ecosystem. Thus, plastic-eating bacteria must be carefully researched before these creatures are released into the ocean.
The relationship between the two texts is best summarized as

Text 1
Not long before it was eradicated by vaccination, smallpox virus erased entire cultures on two continents, where fatality rates rose as high as 90%. For those who survived, it was a cause of permanent, often debilitating disfigurement. Prior to the HiB and DTaP vaccines,
epiglottitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae, and diphtheria caused by Corynebacterium diptheriae were both exceedingly common causes of death in young children, largely because of their tendency to develop rapidly and obstruct the airway.
Text 2
Philosophically, medicine is premised on a balance between beneficence, and nonmaleficence. That is to say, for a medical intervention to be deemed ethical and appropriate, the risks of not treating an individual must always outweigh the risks inherent in the treatment itself. Risk accompanies every medical intervention, and vaccination is no exception.
Someone with the philosophy outlined in Text 2 would most likely have what response to the information presented in Text 1?
