उत्तर
Petra enters the office of the "People‘s Messenger" to return the English book that contained the story she had promised to translate for publishing in the paper. She states that the story contradicts Hovstad‘s opinions and hence cannot be printed. However, Hovstad says that the book is exactly what the readers want to read and that he is willing to compromise his beliefs in order to sell more papers. Disappointed at his hypocrisy, Petra notes that since Hovstad had decided to publish her father‘s report, which deals with the social evils of society, she assumed he would be more willing to protect his moral beliefs. In response, Hovstad unintentionally reveals that his support for her father is due to his attraction towards her. Disgusted at the revelation, Petra criticizes him. When Hovstad threatens to withdraw his support if Petra continues to be bitter towards him, Petra leaves in anger.

London-Breakfast is widely acknowledged as the most important meal of the day. But now, there’s more reason to have that piece of toast before rushing to work: Skipping breakfast has for the first time been associated with an increase in heart attacks.
A study published in the American Heart Association journal circulation showed that men who skipped breakfast had a 27% higher risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease than those who didn’t.
“Skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which may, in turn, lead to a heart attack over time,” said Leah E. Cahill, lead author from the Harvard School of Public Health.
“Our study group has spent decades studying the health effects of diet quality and composition, and now this new data also suggests overall dietary habits can be important to lower risk of coronary heart disease,” said co-author Eric Rimm.
“Don’t skip breakfast,” Cahill said. “Eating breakfast is associated with a decreased risk of heart attacks. Incorporating many types of healthy foods into your breakfast is an essay way to ensure your meal provides adequate energy and a healthy balance of nutrients.
