Answer:

C) To explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish

Explanation:

The given question refers to an excerpt from <em>The Travels of Marco Polo</em><em>:</em>

And let me tell you something else. They have sheep here that have no ears, nor even ear-holes; but in the place where ears ought to be they have little horns. They are small creatures and very pretty. And here is something else that may strike you as marvelous: their domestic animals—sheep, oxen, camels, and little ponies—are fed on fish. They are reduced to this diet because in all this country and in all the surrounding regions there is no grass; but it is the driest place in the world.

The options you were given are the following:

A) to explain why sheep have horns but no ears

B) to explain why sheep in the region are so small

C) to explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish

D) why there are such large quantities of fish available

The correct answer is C. Sheep feed on grass. The climate of the described region is so dry that there is no more grass, so sheep no longer have anything to eat. Instead of letting them die, the people began feeding them fish. The rest of the options are not consequences of the dry climate.

What would happen if the cinema didn’t exist?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If cinema didn't exist then the entire movie industry would not exist either, this meanst that we would not have Hollywood at all. Acting would not be a thing, and most likely television would not exist either. This means that there will most likely be another main form of entertainment and story telling through a different medium. Maybe through plays, video games, books etc. This new medium would be the new cinema and the entire industry will grow around it.

One major choice an author of fiction makes is to decide the _________________ from which the story is told.
valina [46]

Answer: B (point of view)

Explanation:

Let's go through all the answer options.

A) time of day

The time of day isn't exactly the most important detail, since the story usually takes place over different days, months, or years. The exact time isn't the key point in the story.

B) point of view

This is a pretty important topic, since it influences "how the story is told", which is part of the question.

C) first name of character

While this is nice info to have, it does not affect the way a story is told. It is just a minor convenient detail.

D) camera angle

This one doesn't apply at all since it's a book, not a movie. There are no cameras involved.

Therefore, the best answer is B!

Hope this helps! :)
