E. the custom of saving women and children first
Explanation:
"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.
The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."
It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”
Explanation:
those poor Esgaroth people. Assuming Erebor is mainly composed of Volcanic igneous rock, I'm guessing that Smaug's fire is cooler than 1200 degC, since he didn't melt the tunnel the Dwarves were hiding in. Most minerals that comprise igneous rock begin to become molten before temperatures reach ~1200 degC.
No, I would not take it because if you lived for the rest of the world then it would get boring and would seem like the same day over and over again. I would also not be able to see my family members that I grew up with and spent my life knowing and loving. Another reason why I wouldn't consider immportality for a choice to me is because maybe in the future things get worse and worse to live and because after all there is a lot of polution in the earth, who knows how much there will be in 100 years? I could not handle the anoyyance of just living for so many years wondering what will happen next. Or if things will change, because the same thing over and pver again is boring and not worth the power of imortality.
