The tale of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle begins with a visitor, Dr. Mortimer, approaching Holmes to solve one murder and potentially prevent a second.
Dr. Mortimer's visit is occasioned by two things, the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville and the impending arrival of his heir, Sir Henry. Although the doctor is not by nature superstitious, he does consider it important to apprise Holmes of the legend surrounding the "hound of the Baskervilles", a legend that begins with Hugo Baskerville. The story of the legend is told in the 1742 manuscript.
Hugo Baskerville had abducted a peasant girl. She escaped from the room in which he had imprisoned her and fled. He followed on horseback using hounds to hunt her down. His companions followed him, and saw his horse standing riderless and a great black hound tearing out his throat. Since then, several members of the family have died mysterious deaths. The document warns the Baskervilles avoid the moors at night.
The legend is made relevant by Dr. Mortimer's description of the scene of Sir Charles' death:
Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered: "Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!” This is the answer! I hope it helped...
Answer:
I am falling impartially on roads and roofs, on bamboo thickets, on people. In these lines from "Overhead Over S.E. Asia," the word "impartially" suggests war is waged with indifference
Explanation:
The definition of impartially is to act in a way that treats all people or situations equally, it doesn't give special treat or preference to anyone, then the word that has a similar meaning in the correct answer is indifference. Indifference means the lack of interest or enthusiasm in things, then there's nothing special that deserves a different treatment.

The correct answer is A. Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking.
Explanation:
In grammar, a parallel structure in one in which there is a repetition of a grammatical structure, this usually implies a list of elements are presented using the same structure and related to the rest of the sentence in the same way which creates a parallel relation between all the elements presented.
In the case of presented, a parallel structure implies all the elements of the list which are sport or activities are presented by using the same grammatical structure which can be done by presenting all the elements using gerunds (verbs ended in -ing) or an infinitive (preposition "to" followed by the verb). Considering this, the only option which follows a parallel structure is "Seamus liked doing almost any physical activity: hiking, surfing, biking, running, and even spelunking" because all the elements after the colon (:) are presented using gerund grammatical structure which creates a parallel relationship between all the elements.
I think it's A. The interregnum is when England banned theaters and gambling.
