Answer:(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

Explanation

(A)The comparatives used in A are 'the closer ... the more. The correct way of writing this would be the more one came ... the more the city air became...'

Another <u><em>mistake in A is redundancy - 'more' and 'increasingly'. </em></u>

(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

No redundancy. Conveys the meaning well.  

(C)that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic.(example of dangling modifier)

(D)that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town.(It is the example of inverse cause-effect.)

(E)the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to town( use of <u>would come i</u>s wrong here)

Why was germany willing to accept hitler as a dictator and to use the jews as scapegoats?
andrey2020 [161]
Well, in the first World War, Germany lost the war because of the Jewish. Another reason would be that Hitler used myths and lies, and used anti-semitism to his advantage, with myths like how the Jews killed Jesus Christ(when it was actually the Romans) So because of religious prejudice and a long history of anti-semitism made them prime targets.

According to rudyard kipling what is the white man's burden
kondaur [170]

The White Man's Burden is a poem by Rudyard Kipling. Although the poem has deeper meanings, a direct reading was popularized from the dominant points of view at the time, justifying as a noble enterprise, an ungrateful and altruistic obligatio, the domain of " white man" on those defined as "inferior races".

Apparently, in a superficial reading, the subject is a rhetorical mandate to the white man to colonize the other races for the benefit of them, being their "burden" both the task and the people themselves to colonize. Because of this issue, as well as the resounding title, it soon became an emblem of colonial rule and white supremacists.
