Final answer:
The novel does not start with Gabby in a coma.
Step-by-step explanation:
The novel does not start with Gabby in a coma. This statement is false. The opening scene of the novel is described as A) A woman lies down as she goes into a dome-shaped medical machine. B) A closer view of the woman's head shows gamma rays from radioactive cobalt attacks the target on the woman's head. This suggests that the story does not begin with Gabby in a coma.
