Modify the sentence-generator program of Case Study so that it inputs its vocabulary from a set of text files at startup. The filenames are nouns.txt, verbs. txt, articles.txt, and prepositions.txt.
(HINT: Define a single new function, getWords. This function should expect a filename as an argument. The function should open an input file with this name, define a temporary list, read words from the file, and add them to the list. The function should then convert the list to a tuple and return this tuple. Call the function with an actual filename to initialize each of the four variables for the vocabulary.)
Oxygen gas and pure potassium chloride are added to a beaker of distilled water. As the temperature of the water is decreased,
a. the solubility of the oxygen will (increase/decrease).
b. the solubility of the potassium chloride will (increase/decrease).

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established to bring justice to those committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, or genocide. It was established as an extension of the Rome Statute, and only has jurisdiction over countries that signed this treaty. At this time, the United States is not part of this agreement, and thus does not fall under its jurisdiction.

The business is fairly stable in that they never sell less than 50 dozen nor more than 80 dozen muffins. Their sales history, rounded to the nearest ten dozen muffins is as shown:

Consider the following case study: An ethical dilemma
Mr X, an 89-year-old man, has been admitted in extreme pain with urinary retention. He has prostate cancer with multiple secondaries throughout his abdomen. He is middle European in origin and has limited English. His distraught wife and two sons are with him – both sons speak fluent English. Effective analgesia has been provided and he is sleeping when the surgeon arrives to see him.
The surgeon speaks with the sons and explains that the situation is terminal and that only palliative surgical measures will be undertaken to relieve his symptoms. The sons request that their father not be given his diagnosis. They explain that culturally it is the role of the family to be the decision-makers during illness and that their father would not expect to be involved. Furthermore, they all believe it would be detrimental to their father’s wellbeing for him to be given a terminal diagnosis.
The surgeon reluctantly agrees to this request because the sons are so adamant about their cultural practices. He tells Mr X that they will insert a suprapubic catheter later that day ‘to bypass your blockage and sort out your pain’. However, when you are caring for Mr X, during that day, he constantly asks you, in his limited English, whether or not he is dying. How would you deal with this situation? (Staunton & Chiarella, 2013, pp. 28-29)
The following question relates directly to the case study.
