We have mixed up all the determiners (a, an, the, that, this) from the text, try and correctly place them.
Can an unconscious person be aware of his surroundings? Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
An unconscious person appears as if asleep but cannot be woken up. He does not respond to voices or sounds and we naturally assume

We know

certain brain areas are important for consciousness. For example we have brain systems to keep us awake and to focus our attention (e.g. on what we are reading rather than on
