The best answer is:
"General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing Thanksgiving dinner for twenty."
Comparing General Barker, a man in one of the most masculine professions there are, and preparing for a demonstration of an incredibly powerful weapon of mass destruction, to a woman preparing for Thanksgiving Dinner is ironic in its great contrast between the subject and what he's being compared to.

Olegator [25]

The option that provides the best definition of the term avant-garde as the author intends it in the passage is (b.) innovative.

It is a concept that is mainly connected to artists that are ahead of their time and also to innovative works of art, especially those that were produced during the 20th century. In this case, avant-garde has been used to describe Waiting for Godot since the play appeared to be radically original when it was premiered due to its characters, settings and themes.

FULL ESSAY IM GIVING BRAINLIEST write an article for the school's newspaper explaining what causes environmental pollution

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Environmental pollution is not a new phenomenon, yet it remains the world’s greatest problem facing humanity, and the leading environmental causes of morbidity and mortality. Man’s activities through urbanization, industrialization, mining, and exploration are at the forefront of global environmental pollution. Both developed and developing nations share this burden together, though awareness and stricter laws in developed countries have contributed to a larger extent in protecting their environment. Despite the global attention towards pollution, the impact is still being felt due to its severe long-term consequences. This chapter examines the types of pollution—air, water, and soil; the causes and effects of pollution; and proffers solutions in combating pollution for sustainable environment and health.
