Although coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, gold and other minerals have been found, they have not been in large enough quantities to exploit. The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty also restricts a struggle for resources.
Answer:A is the correct answer
Explanation:The reason for that is because if you ever don't understand a word you see the surrounding words or phrases.For example,the sentence "The little girl coward in fear when she saw the spider" Lets say you didn't know what coward meant but w do know that the sentence states that she feared the spider so coward might mean to be afraid or unable to do something.
Answer:
The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.
Explanation:
An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.
He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.
I´d say A. Others don´t make much sense in the context.
