Genetically Modified Foods, Pros and Cons.
Genetically modified foods (GMs)are becoming increasingly
coirtmon in many countries. However, before one opts for any of
these foods, it is very important to know about their pros and
cons.
There are a variety of reasons for developing GMs. For
instance, some foods are genetically modified to prevent the
occurrence of allergies after consumption, while some are
developed to improve their shelf life.
Though the seeds of GMs are quite expensive, their cost of
production is said to be lesser than that of the traditional crops
for these foods do have natural resistance towards damaging pests
and insects. This reduces the necessity of exposing crops to
hazardous Chemicals. It is also said that GMs grow faster. Due to
this, productivity increases, providing the population with more
food. At times, GMs crops can be grown at places with unfavorable
climatic conditions whereas a normal crop can grow only in
specific season or under some favorable climatic conditions.
The biggest threat caused by GMs is that they can have
harmful effects on the human body. It is believed that they can
cause diseases which are immune to antibiotics. Moreover,
according to some experts, people who consume such foods have high
chances of developing câncer. Besides, not much is known about
their long-term effects on human beings.
In many countries, manufacturers do not mention on the labei
that foods are genetically modified because they think that this
would affect their business. However, this is not a good practice
as consumers do not get the chance to decide whether they should
really opt for these foods, Experts are of the opinion that with
the increase of genetically modified foods, developing countries
would start depending more on industrial countries because it is
likely that the food production would be controlled by them in the
time to come.

Based on the text below, answer the question.
Navy preps submarines for lst female officers
HARTFORD, Conn. — For Ensign Peggy LeGrand, the biggest
concern about serving on a submarine is not spending weeks at a
time in tight quarters with an entirely male crew. What worries
her is the scrutiny that comes with breaking one of the last
gender barriers in the military.
"I have a feeling more people will be focused on us. Our
mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve",
said LeGrand, a 25-year-old Naval Academy graduate from Amarillo,
Texas.
LeGrand is among a small group of female officers who are
training at sites including Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite
submarine force beginning later this year. While the Navy says it
is not treating them any differently from their male counterparts,
officials have been working to prepare the submarine crews — and
the sailors1 wives — for one of the most dramatic changes in the
111-year history of the Navy’s "silent Service."
The change is a source of anxiety for others, including the
wives of submariners, who worry the close contact at sea could
lead to sailors' cheating. The issue really has to do with the
creation of a relationship that becomes very close and then
results in further relations ashore. That is, of course, what
bothers the wives. "They know the kind of relationships that
happens between the shipmates", said retired Navy Rear Adm. W . J.
Holland Jr., a former submarine commander.
The initial class of 24 women will be divided among four
submarines, where they will be outnumbered by men by a ratio of
roughly 1 to 25. The enlisted ranks, which make up about 90
percent of a sub's 160-sailor crew, are not open to women although
the Navy is exploring modifications to create separate bunks for
men and women.
The female officers, many of them engineering graduates from
Annapolis, are accustomed to being in the minority, and so far
they say they hardly feel like outsiders. The nuclear power school
that is part of their training, for example, has been open to
women for years because the Navy in 1994 reversed a ban on females
serving on its surface ships, including nuclear-powered vesseis.

Considering the text, what does the word "magnified" mean in this extract?
"I have a feeling more people will be focused on us. Our mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve."
