"I cannot bear men who believe that women serving in the Palace are bound to be frivolous and wicked. Yet I suppose their prejudice is understandable. After all, women at Court do not spend their time hiding modestly behind fans and screens, but walk about, looking openly at people they chance to meet. Yes, they see everyone face to face, not only ladies-in-waiting like themselves, but even Their Imperial Majesties (whose . . . names I hardly dare mention), High Court Nobles, senior courtiers, and other gentlemen of high rank. In the presence of such exalted personages, the women in the Palace are all equally brazen, whether they be the maids of ladies-in-waiting, or the relations of Court ladies who have come to visit them, or housekeepers, or latrine-cleaners, or women who are of no more value than a roof-tile or a pebble. Small wonder that the young men regard them as immodest! Yet are the gentlemen themselves any less so? They are not exactly bashful when it comes to looking at the great people in the Palace. No, everyone at Court is much the same in this respect.”
What conclusion can be drawn about the author’s point of view of women in the palace?
They seem wicked.
They act too bashfully.
They appear to be modest.
They are confident in themselves.

Recall that areas with high net primary productivity not only produce high levels of biomass rapidly, they also take up large amounts of co2 and give off large amounts of oxygen. what is the likely result of the increasing amounts of sediments and fertilizers in the major rivers emptying into oceans and affecting algal beds, reefs, swamps, and estuaries? a fisheries will improve as the extra nutrients feed shellfish and fish. b eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and more oxygen released. c productivity in these areas will increase permanently, leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. d eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. e eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and less oxygen released.
