English and math are both very important but I believe math would be more important. You need to know math so you can manage your bills and know what you can spend and what you can't. Math is key for most things, like for example when you go to the grocery store you need to be able to add up how much you think your groceries will come to cause if you will want to know if you'll have enough money to pay for it all. Or when you pay bills you'll want to know what you have left for money and if you have enough to pay the bills you need to.
It would have been much easier for brainly users to give you the right answer if you had attached some option to choose the correct one. I think I know the right answer, and do hope you have the same options in your task. So, I am pretty sure that the statement which best explains why Irving sets "The Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger" in a land of “masks and gondolas” is ''<span>The setting is symbolic of the idea that ease and affluence are available to all''</span>
Answer:
The author feels like Thomas Young was a pioneer in the deciphering of hieroglyphs since he "got three out of seven symbols, which was a better score than any other scolar before him".
However, the author feels that Thomas Young was too confident in his assumptions, which caused him to fail in his task, and that he "put roadblocks in his own path".
Still, the author believes that Young's contribution was key to the final deciphering of the hieroglyphs, since he "laid a solid groundwork for others in their attempts to decipher the hieroglyphs".

The author doesn't tell us what the real ending of the story is. It is possible that when Lowry wrote The Giver, she had a sequel in mind. Leaving the ending of this book ambiguous would encourage readers to purchase the sequel. You can read Gathering Blue and Messenger, which were written as companion books to The Giver and will give you more information.
Going on just what the book says, there are two conclusions you could reach.
First, Jonas and Gabriel die. The book makes it clear that they are slowly freezing to death. They are weak, hungry and tired. The book also says that Jonas uses his last little bit of strength to find the sled waiting for him at the top of the hill. They sled down the hill to "Elsewhere", perhaps an afterlife of some kind that follows death. This could be why Jonas heard music as he slowly slipped down the hill. In addition, the Giver was transmitting memories to Jonas before he died, giving the idea that if the Giver died before they were transmitted, they would be lost forever or else freed and allowed to enter the minds of the people. Jonas, now, being the new keeper of the memories, would release those memories when he died. This could be why he also heard singing behind him - as he slipped away, his friends and family received the memories he had carried and were freed from the austere existence they had experienced.
Second, Jonas and Gabriel find "Elsewhere", an unexplained real and literal place. This is supported by the fact that there is a sled waiting for them, apparently placed there by people who are hoping he will find it and use it. It would only stand to reason that if they placed it there for Jonas, they would be waiting for him at the bottom of the hill. This is confirmed near the end of the chapter when it says that he knew they were waiting for him and the baby. The book also supports this idea because he heard music and saw lights and warmth coming from Elsewhere, indicating that there is life and emotion there. There is also the possibility that his leaving freed the residents of his home town and enabled them to have memory, which is why he heard them singing behind him.
I would suggest that the author wanted you to come to your own conclusions, so she intentionally left it very ambiguous. Reading the two companion books mentioned above would help if you simply can't stand ambiguous endings (like me!).
