Answer:
A
. Because the Cuban Missile Crisis resulted in the end of all U.S. flights to and from Cuba.
Explanation:
Operation Peter Pan, or known in Cuba as Pedro Pan, was the effort of the United States government to ensure the safety of Cuban children amidst the rise of Fidel Castro's rise in power. This effort was a humanitarian act to ensure the safety of the children of the dissident parents of the latest Cuban government's communist regime.
But this 'relief' effort was left hanging by the Cuban Missile Crisis that 'cut' all ties between the two nations. The Crisis led to the discontinuation of the flights from Cuba, resulting in the children stranded in the US while their parents were unable to leave Cuba and join their children.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
The correct way of matching each statement with the appropriate tone is the following:
* Angry tone: the adjective “annoying” implies the angry tone of the speaker. (A cell phone can be annoying when you forget to turn on the silent feature before going to sleep)
* Accepting tone: the speaker acknowledges the problem with the battery, yet she/he accepts it by carrying a charger as a solution to it. (The problem is that the battery doesn’t last long, but I don’t mind carrying a charger)
* Objective tone: the speaker is objective by stating only facts about the device. (The cell phone makes calling convenient from all possible locations)
* Sentimental tone: the verb “cherish”, and the noun “gift” imply the sentimental tone of the speaker. (I will always cherish my first cell phone because it was a gift from my dad)
* Optimistic tone: the speaker has an optimistic tone, as she/he speaks about a possible future development. (I think we can soon expect a technology that charges phones in seconds)
<span>Simply put, a kenning is a way of describing something without actually mentioning what it is. A metaphor, if you like.
For instance,
Slaughter dew = Blood
Sleep with the sword = Death
Swan of blood = A Raven
Therefore your answer must be A or B
Although I'm not completely certain, I would guess that King hrothgar is a 'Shielder of shield bearers', as he is a king.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
