Answer: B. After leaving the sickness, / the old Empires of Europe
Explanation:
The Old Empires of Europe being the British, the French, the Spanish, The Portuguese, The Dutch, and The Germans amongst others, got to the level they were at by conquering new lands from North America to Australia. Indeed at it's height, the British Empire controlled 24% of Earth as we know it now.
Joseph Bruchac (the Poet), in the poem, likens these Empires to being sick. To having become inherently unhealthy because all they thought about was conquest essentially drawing a comparison between conquest and sickness to say that conquering others can make one sick and unhealthy just as it did these Old Empires of Europe.

C. Accept
Explanation:
The phrase <em>to bear the sight (of someone or something) </em>means <em>to tolerate, accept, or endure someone or something. </em>It's usually used with negation (like in the given sentence). This is why option C is the correct one.
This phrase can't mean<em> to delay, to cause, </em>or <em>to predict </em>in any context. This is why other options are incorrect.
I think that we read fairytales because they are entertaining. Some are also very easy to read as kids. Some times as children adults tell us them for that we learn a lesson. Like the boy who cried wolf shows what can happen if we lie to much. Lastly, I think that it’s because when we grow up we can tell it to others also. :)
