Read this excerpt from “the world” by christina rossetti:

by day she wooes me, soft, exceeding fair;
but all night as the moon so changeth she;
loathsome and foul with hideous leprosy
and subtle serpents gliding in her hair.
by day she wooes me to the outer air,
ripe fruits, sweet flowers, and full satiety:
but thro' the night, a beast she grins at me,
a very monster void of love and prayer,
by day she stands a lie:

which statement best describes the theme?

a (love escapes us because of the change from day to night.)
b (nighttime is monstrous, but it is better than daytime.)
c (beauty can be alluring, but it is also dangerous.)
d (daytime hides the danger and intrigue of night.)

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
