English

The answer is:

A) I looked down a sheer precipice to a chaos of crumpled ice 1500 ft. below. There was no way down for us.

C) Our path lay between the glaciers and the outfalls, but first we had to descend from the ridge on which we stood.

E) We passed through it, under the towering precipice of ice, and at the far end we had another meal and a short rest.

A memoir is an autobiography or a historical description of past events based on personal experiences or special sources. In his book "South!," Ernest Shackleton describes his adventures during his South Pole expeditions between 1914 and 1917. As a result, the sentences that suggest he is writing a memoir are the ones in which he includes himself and other people, using words like <em>I</em>, <em>we </em>and <em>us</em>.
