Thank you We sneak in here's your smoke Dude you're

00:04

brought to you by sit cobb's Sometimes we wonder what

00:07

life would be like with a built in laugh track

00:12

fifty All right take a look in the following sense

00:14

serena looked forward to her favorite tv show returning from

00:17

its midseason hiatus hiatus most nearly means what And here

00:24

your pencil answer generations all right here we go What

00:29

is high It is mean well think about your favorite

00:31

tv show when it goes on hiatus and takes a

00:33

break from airing new episodes right But a hiatus is

00:37

impermanent so even though those three months may feel endless

00:40

without the hijinks of the simpsons to keep you entertained

00:43

you can rest easy knowing they'll be back in your

00:45

life in the old times Now that we have an

00:48

understanding of what hiatus means Let's take a look at

00:50

our answer starting with a degeneration to degenerate means to

00:55

deteriorate in quality We're not fancy tv exacts by any

00:58

means but we're assuming shows don't take a three month

01:00

hiatus to get worse The quality of the show doesn't

01:03

change while it's on break so we can mix a

01:06

how about thie submersion Well when you submerge something you

01:10

hold it completely underwater again We don't claim to be

01:12

tv experts but if the network head honchos air holding

01:15

their shows underwater they might be doing something wrong You

01:19

never see aquaman I can't write anyway Answer b doesn't

01:22

hold water huh So we toss it Differentiation means being

01:25

able to tell the difference between two or more things

01:28

while tv shows can be pretty intelligent but they haven't

01:31

reached the level where they're able to differentiate anything And

01:34

since serena's tv show isn't spending its midseason break differentiating

01:38

between which is better topsy or cook we can eliminate

01:42

d which leaves us with c suspension to suspend something

01:46

means to temporarily prevent it from continuing Sounds familiar Maybe

01:51

we read the spoiler here since suspension and hiatus or

01:54

the same thing we know cia's are correct Answer You

01:57

know we could use a hiatus from answering questions now 00:02:00.23 --> [endTime] Yeah Still nifty
