The correct option is D.
The Mexico city was built on the ruins of an old lake. The lake was drained in order to provide the needed land for the city and water has to be regularly pump out of the underground aquifers in order to prevent flooding and also to provide drinking water for the city. This affected the supporting soil structure and result in the sinking of the city. The city has sunk by about 30 feet in the last 100 years  and this has caused a lot of damages which are quite expensive to repair.

Example of dramatic irony in the open boat
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
One example of dramatic irony is when the people on the shore see the boat out at sea. They believe that it is a novelty, not that someone might need their help. The people in the boat, see the people on the shore as their rescuers. Both are wrong.

Which statement best describes the motivation of the character Pahom in Leo Tolstoy’s story “How Much Land Does a Man Need?”
andrey2020 [161]
Greedy. Pahom was poor, but he wanted as much land as he could get. When he had opportunity to get more land, (as much as he can walk in a day) he killed himself from over-working himself. He is also a static character. And a protagonist. Don't know what kind of answer you're looking for.
