Global warming resulting from greenhouse gases is a serious issue that demands immediate action. The immediate action must be carried out by raising people's consciousness of this important issue. If we work together, we can make global warming an issue that everyone cares about. We, as individuals, must work together towards sustainability.
the significant effects mentioned in the text are that the ocean is rising year after year; trees bloom two to three weeks earlier, we barely get snow in winter, the increased severity of hurricanes, tornadoes and drought, Sea levels are increasing, towns in the Arctic are sinking. These are direct effects of global warming.
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
The answer to your question is C.
I hope this helps you!
Answer:
He wanted to inform readers about what he saw and learned on his journey.
Explanation:
Marco Polo was a traveler who traveled from Europe to Asia. At the age of seventeen, Marco left for the voyage to Asia. He is considered as the world's first travel writer. His travelogue contains the details of his journey and of what he saw on his voyage. The "Travels of Marco Polo" is the title of his travelogue. It was originally titled as "The Description of the World". The credibility of his travelogue is doubted as he wrote about such places that were never found to exist.
The purpose of Polo's writing travelogue was to inform his readers about the things and places he went and saw and things that he learned.
So, the correct answer is third option.
