What is The plot and themes Of the book “ the prisoners”

English
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
8 0

In this story, a young woman who is “daughter and wife of a forester” is home alone with her mother. The daughter’s wife is serving in the French army; the father is in town drilling with the local militia. This young woman is strong and unafraid. When half a dozen Germans show up demanding to be fed dinner, she tricks them into her cellar – once, apparently, an underground prison cell – until the local militia can come to take them into custody. The young woman is represented as a fine example of patriotism, courage, and quick wits; the French should be proud of her (and her father certainly is, although it is implied that the leader of the militia is happy to take credit for the capture). The militiamen, however, don’t get an uncritical treatment. I will leave this part spoiler-free, but an unfortunate and avoidable incident highlights that they are less competent than our daughter-and-wife.

The giant Chicxulub crater in Mexico provides indisputable evidence that a huge asteroid, about six miles across, struck Earth a
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

E). During the period immediately before the asteroid that produced the Chicxulub crater struck, most of the world’s dinosaurs lived in or near the region of the asteroid’s impending impact.

Explanation:

As per the question, option E displays the statement that would most likely weaken the argument, if true as it functions to deny the author's claim that 'when the asteroid(around six miles ago) struck the Earth, the last dinosaur species were becoming extinct' by presenting contradictory statement 'most of the world’s dinosaurs lived in or near the region of the asteroid’s impending impact.' Thus, this statement(if true) would not only weaken the argument but also influence the author's credibility and character among the audience. Thus, <u>option E</u> is the correct answer.
